In The Wild: New and 'Improved' Gozi Trojan

Jaikumar Vijayan writes on ComputerWorld:

A new, stealthier version of a previously known Russian Trojan horse program called Gozi has been circulating on the Net since April 17 and has already stolen personal data from more than 2000 home users worldwide.

The compromised information includes bank and credit card account numbers (including CVV codes), Social Security numbers, and online payment account numbers as well as usernames and passwords. As with its predecessor, the new version of Gozi is programmed to steal information from encrypted SSL streams and send the stolen information to a server based in Russia.
