eBay Trojan morphs to snare motor victims
Published November 16th, 2007
A internet Trojan attacking eBay Motors users, continues to circulate, according to researchers from Symantec, who say the malware has morphed three times in the last week in an attempt to evade detection.
Trojan.Bayrob is in constant contact with a fleet of control servers so it can be updated in real time - it tries to trick victims into making fraudulent purchases. It regularly downloads fake pages that masquerade as authentic eBay content and program updates, according to an entry on the Symantec Security Response Blog.
