Recently, my colleague Pedro Bueno wrote about “dumb” malware authors hardcoding their login credentials into their password-stealing Trojan. The malware he referenced, PWS-Banker.gen.i, ostensibly came from Brazil. Today, we found the same negligence in a similar piece of Chinese malware detected as PWS-Banker.gen.de.
When run, the password-stealing Trojan queries for the infected host’s IP address using three web-based IP address-lookup services. It [...]
