Hi Chuck,

FYI I posted this info back on March 23rd at
http://archive.midrange.com/pctech/200603/msg00110.html

What's also scary is this trojan can intercept unencrypted https traffic
too, so users may think their on-line banking is safe when in fact its not.

Was reading the current edition of Business Week yesterday evening and came
across this little gem. I knew rootkits were/are the next major problem but
this is going to get way out of hand before it gets better. I find it ironic
that one of the companies mentioned notified folks to change their
passwords. If that is all they did and didn't bother to tell them their PC
was "owned", what's the point. Very interesting article.
