Spy Eye Targets Opera, Google Chrome Users
Summary: The latest version of the SpyEye trojan, version 1.3.34, adds "form grabbing" options targeting Google Chrome and Opera users on Windows, marking the first time a major banking trojan has claimed this capability for those browsers. SpyEye and ZeuS have long performed form grabbing against Internet Explorer and Firefox by hooking their DLL files, but Chrome and Opera appear to use different DLLs, according to Seculert CTO Aviv Raff.
What's compelling: Users who chose Chrome or Opera believing smaller market share made them less of a target now sit in SpyEye's sights, and the kit's author has narrowed sales to a handful of vetted underground communities, limiting who can see it coming.
