Hackers use ‘construction kit’ to unleash Trojan variants
Multiple hacker groups are using a “construction kit” supplied by the author of a Trojan horse program discovered last October to develop and unleash more dangerous variants of the original malware. Already such variants have stolen sensitive information belonging to at least 10,000 individuals and sent the data to rogue servers in China, Russia and the United States, according to Don Jackson, a security researcher at SecureWorks Inc. of Atlanta. The stolen data includes Social Security numbers, online account information, bank account and credit card numbers, user names and passwords and other data that users would usually input during an SSL session.
