Worm snaffles online gamers' passwords
John Leyden writes in The Register:
Players of one fantasy role-playing game Priston Tale have suffered a nasty attack of reality after virus writers created a worm programmed to steal their usernames, passwords and data.
The worm - dubbed PrsKey-A - waits for users to enter either Priston Tale or the Yahoo! email system before capturing keystrokes and sending data back to hackers. It is programmed to spread via network shares but other propagation mechanisms, such as tricking fans into downloading the malware, may also be in play.
