Subject: Firefox vulnerability -- trojan horse

 

Hi folks,

 

I recently got the information of a german site that there is a trojan horse vulnerability for firefox.

The attack pretends being a WalMart invoice. The trojan horse will be installed as a firefox

extension (maybe plugin??) and starts to sniff / record all browser input like user id and password

from shopping and online banking.

 

thanks,

tom aka gonzo
