New IE Malware Captures Passwords Ahead Of SSL
Ken Treis writes "SANS Internet Storm Center is reporting on a new strain of IE Malware. This one targets bank customers, which in itself is nothing new. But the catch is in the way it does it: it installs a Browser Help Object (BHO) that can capture login information before it is encrypted, and 'watches for HTTPS (secure) access to URLs of several dozen banking and financial sites in multiple countries.'."
Personally, I use Opera on Linux, and Safari on MacOS X.

It's ok. I'll just wardial the number in your sig instead.
Mod down posts with a "Free Mac Mini/iPod" sig, they're spam!
It seems that some people have been studieng...
It looks like hunting season has been opened...
IE users, do yourself a favor and start listening to all the bright people on here telling you to use Firefox or Opera...
I use Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox since 0.4 and am happy since.
Unlike the domain name, that will not be fraudulant:

All's true that is mistrusted
Why does fire fow sometimes have the slashdot text appear over the menus and links to the right of the posts? IE and opera don't have this problem.
and here firefox on OS X.
BTW, this is my first post of the day, and slashdot.org told me to slow down because I just posted one 18 seconds ago, could this be a bad signal?
There is a spark in every single flame bait point.
Nope, you should just be smart about your office desktop's security settings and perhaps even use the browser-help-object (BHO) listing tool noted in the linked article: http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm. I just checked my desktop, and it wasn't infected; so I'll still do banking online and continue to be wary of security issues.
That could be translated to "Nope, i dont use a condom because I'm smart, i just carry a AIDS test and check my partners every time".
Just plain dumb and inefficient.
replying to your sig more than the post..if you've ever lived in LA (Hollywood especially), that isn't much to live on. If you want to have any sort of relations with the females around here making that much is a bare minimum unfortunatley, and they pretty much always ask you how much you make within 5 minutes of striking up a conversation.
in bed.
noooteeexxtttteeekmoooo
Testinf isn't a good idea...takes too long for the results to come back, ruining the mood
