Botnet Tools drive point-and-click crime
I must have somehow overlooked this BBC article last week. It begins:
New software tools make stealing data from users as easy as browsing the web.
The easy-to-use tools are being created by malicious and criminal hackers to run the networks of compromised home computers they control, said security firm Websense.
The tools mean hackers can react instantly to what users are doing and re-direct them to fake websites set up to harvest personal data.
Also in the BBC story is a reference to a Websense article which provides a bit more detail (and this neato screenshot of a least one such tool).
