Spy Eye vs. ZeuS Rivalry
Summary: The SpyEye crimeware kit's author released version 1.1, which he claims can inject content into Firefox and Internet Explorer as Zeus does, and which hijacks or removes an existing Zeus infection on the same machine. Zeus's author pushed out version 1.4 with a base price double the old kit's roughly $4,000, while SpyEye costs $500 with the new Firefox injection tool running an extra $1,000, and both kits now use hardware-locked licensing.
What you should know: The injection capability that lets thieves defeat the security tokens banks require for commercial online banking is now in a $500 kit, and the two rival authors are actively trying to outbid each other on features and price.
