Bots Hunting Bank Information


hacker Verisign's security research firm iDefense thinks the Metafisher bot (aka Spy-Agent and PWS) has a presence on a million computers and could leap into millions more.

The password-stealing Metafisher bot has been tracked for some time by iDefense according to an Enterprise ITPlanet report. Although iDefense has broken the encryption used by the bot for receiving FTP control commands from an attacker, it is not yet known how well iDefense's efforts to shutdown sites used by the bot have fared.

Symantec described PWSteal.Metafisher as " a Trojan horse that exploits the Microsoft Windows Graphics Rendering Engine WMF Format Unspecified Code Execution Vulnerability to download remote files. The Trojan also sends bank account and personal information to remote servers." Bots Hunting Bank Information
