Research claims to have found rare new Trojan
By Stephen McBride Published June 15, 2014 A cyber researcher claims to have found an entirely new Trojan that can steal Web form data and create fake webpages, the Register reported.
Pandemiya is available with basic functionality for $1,500, but a $2,000 version via DLL plug-in allows greater functionality, according to RSA's Eli Marcus, who discovered the malware. A new module is reportedly in development that will be uniquely designed for deployment against Facebook users.
New Trojans are normally based on existing, tried-and-tested malware codebases, but Marcus said Pandemiya was built from about 25,000 lines of fresh code.
