Published March 6th, 2007
Symantec have warned of a malicious Trojan called ‘Bayrob’ which enables scammers to obtain Ebay Motors customers’ IDs and passwords.
Ebay’s latest security scare is known as a ‘middleman’ attack. Trojan.Bayrob does this by exploiting a weakness in Ebay’s proxy server.
Ebay users are warned (by Symantec) to be wary of attacks from Ebay’s internal messages as well ME pages. The risk of being attacked is reduced by refraining from clicking on any links. There is no word from Ebay regarding this latest security scare.
