Brolux trojan targeting Japanese online bankers

A banking trojan, detected by ESET as Win32/Brolux.A, is targeting Japanese internet banking users and spreading through at least two vulnerabilities: a Flash vulnerability leaked in the Hacking Team hack and the so-called unicorn bug, a vulnerability in Internet Explorer discovered in late 2014. Both exploits are (still) distributed through an adult website and try to install a signed malicious binary designed to steal personal information from the victim. The spreading mechanism reminds us of another banking trojan specifically targeting Japanese financial institutions, Win32/Aibatook.
