Chinese malware takes aim at passwords
,----[ Quote ]
| IT security watchdog Sophos has warned that over half of all Chinese
| malware found in October was designed to steal user names and passwords
| from web users.
|
| [...]
|
| While it may not seem particularly dangerous for hackers to steal
| instant messaging and gaming details, Theriault warns that "cyber
| criminals will have inadvertently gained access to bank accounts,
| or cracked the passwords to secure password protected information,
| from which they can steal confidential and financial information."
| Time to change those passwords, mayhaps.
