Domination: Crims steal admin logins, infect sites, drop Cryptowall 4
Reported by itsecurityguru.org
Virus slingers who find themselves unsatisfied by merely ruining computers with ransomware are now first stealing a victim’s admin passwords to enslave their websites into attack campaigns. The battery starts with the installation of the Pony malware, which in 2013 stole some two million passwords through its global botnet. Pony can also plunder passwords from more than 100 applications, social media sites, and Google accounts.
