"GAMEOVER" IN THE NEWS AGAIN

AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN...








It wasn't too long ago that I wrote about the "Gameover" Trojan, and here it is back in the news today with reports from F.Secure that it is targeting users of Monster.com [it's hard enough just finding a job much less getting your identity stolen while doing it].

If your computer is infected it will replace the normal login screen for Monster with one that looks very much like the original:

CLOSE, BUT NOT REALLY THE REAL LOG IN SCREEN


It will then inject another screen which will ask you security questions which could lead to them learning more about you:

You can read an article from PCWORLD HERE, and also the original Blog post from F.Secure's site HERE for more information.

Have you ever wished you had a bootable USB flash drive to help knock off an infected computer? If you do, but don't know how to go about it [ed. - unless you "Google" it], "Securitydaze" roving columnist Bryan Guevara will have complete instructions on how to go about it on Thursday's blog post!

'Nuff Said,
Brian
