 |
|
|
Article from PCWorld.com states that hackers are using Google Page Creator to host a "Key Logger" Trojan virus in order to record key strokes to those that visit online banking institutions.
| Quote: | | Google's Web site hosting service is apparently being used by hackers to try to steal money using a malicious program, a security company said. Security vendor Websense warned last week that a Trojan horse is being hosted on a site with the same IP (Internet protocol) address as the main Google Pages Web site. |
Careful Clicking everone.

Yes, it's hard to believe that there are some people that will just click on anything,
without even taking the simple precaution of making sure it's not an executable file.
It's a sad fact of life that there are a lot of malicious morons out there, and there's virtually no place to completely lower your guard.

I've seen a few other ways of logging actions.
Quite often they just give a link, that, if you have javascript enabled, will look legitimate. They change the URL that is seen when you hover over a link, they put another URL into the new page, and they make it look exactly like the site they are copying.
Then they just use a PHP or Javascript keylogger to log your actions, and they have your account info. 
I'm glad I have NoScript.
