[HIB]DIY Facebook Malware Kit Digs for Login Credentials

[newsbot]

Security software vendor BitDefender this week is warning Facebook users to be on the lookout for a new malware variant that can easily snag login and password credentials to the popular social networking site, as well as those to any number of banking or online accounts. It's called Facebook Hacker and it's just the latest in a line of do-it-yourself malware kits that purport to make even the most amateur of hackers an instant expert in Facebook phishing. According to an entry on BitDefender's MalwareCity blog, the kit can be purchased online and is "intuitive" and easy to configure, requiring only a disposable email account and a password. Beyond snatching and distributing users' Facebook credentials, the Trojan delivered via the kit, which BitDefender has identified as Trojan.Generic.3576478, will also get its hands on any other credentials for other sites -- banking, enterprise VPNs, etc. -- and send those to the dummy email account established by the neophyte hacker.
