Tech Blog Alerts of Trojan Attack on eBay Motors

WebProNews says "man in the middle" attack makes hackers' motives unclear
Customers of eBay Motors take heed: a Trojan is out to get your information, though it seems to do more than Phish.
In his blog on WebProNews this week, David A. Utter reports on a new virus that is waiting to strike users of the popular eBay offering, and it seems to want more than a username and password. Utter claims that the problem is currently in the hands of Symantec, the folks who purvey such useful and well-used security programs as Norton Antivirus. The company is trying to determine the purpose behind the so-called "Trojan.Bayrob" attack, Utter says.
Once the discussion turns to proxy servers and the port 80 default, which it does, we're out of our element. But if you are a site developer or customer on eBay Motors, you'll want to read what Utter has to say.
