Samsung's US Web site is hosting a Trojan horse that logs keystrokes, disables antivirus applications and steals online banking access codes, according to Internet security firm Websense.

Visitors to the Web site are not affected by the malware and Websense believes Samsung's Web server has most likely been compromised in order to serve malware to users that receive spam messages or malicious IM messages.

According to an advisory published by Websense on Friday, "The server appears to have been compromised and has been hosting a variety of files for some time".
