Found new way for steal data encrypted using SSL/TLS

Myantispyware team March 26, 2007     No Comment    

Russian malware authors are finding new ways to steal and profit from data which used to be considered safe from thieves because it was encrypted using SSL/TLS.

A single attack by a single variant compromises more than 5200 hosts and 10,000 user accounts on hundreds of sites.

  • Steals SSL data using advanced Winsock2 functionality
  • State-of-the-art, modularized trojan code
  • Spread through IE browser exploits
  • Undetected for weeks, months by many AV vendors
  • Customized server/database code to collect sensitive data
  • Customer interface for on-line purchases of stolen data
  • Accounts compromised by stealing data primarily from infected home PCs
  • Accounts at top financial, retail, health care, and government services affected
  • Data’s black market value at least $2 million

There are two other known variants. New variants, similar attacks inevitable.
