New Trojan Kit Steals Facebook Details
Researchers at security firm BitDefender have detected a new do-it-yourself kit created to produce customized Trojans that pilfer Facebook login details, passwords stored inside browsers and even VPN credentials.
The kit is termed as "Facebook Hacker" and it is very easy to configure, just like any do-it-yourself tool crafted with the 'skiddie' [script kiddie] in mind.
According to the reports, Facebook hackers send other users an executable file (.exe) that (on clicking) will hack their log-in credentials and secretly e-mail it again to the sender. Unlike other programs that secretly observe keystrokes to steal critical information, passwords and other details, this one does not ask the victim to type anything at all. Besides, the program looks for any usernames and passwords saved by the web browser. This implies that e-mail and other website information could be stolen as well.
