Finjan Uncovers Insidious New Variant of Crimeware Toolkit Infecting More Than 10,000 US Websites in December

San Jose, CA, USA, January 14, 2008

"In its just-released Malicious Page of the Month report, Finjan explores the “random js toolkit,”
the latest example in the trend among cybercriminals to undermine ‘trusted’ web sites.

"More than 10,000 websites in the US were infected in December by this latest malware.
The attack, which Finjan has designated “random js toolkit,” is an extremely elusive crimeware Trojan that infects an end user’s machine and sends data from the machine via the Internet to the Trojan's “master”, a cybercriminal. 
Data stolen by the Trojan can include documents, passwords, surfing habitats, or any other sensitive information of interest to the criminal."
