This report analyzes an active Asprox botnet campaign delivered through USPS-themed spam that downloads a ZIP containing a malicious executable. The malware disguises itself as a document icon, installs copies in the user's Local Application Data, creates an autostarter for persistence, and phones home by POSTing bzip2-compressed data encrypted with a 16-byte RC4 key over ports 443 and 8080; the report includes sample IPs and a VirusTotal hash.
