Warning eBay users Symantec claims that a pernicious Trojan is on the prowl for scamming them with a man-in-the-middle attack. The malware, named as Trojan.Bayrob, sprints a sophisticated man in the middle attack that takes partial control of traffic to eBay Motors. The malicious Trojan makes its access via email and shows the victim a photo slideshow of a vehicle purportedly up for auction.
Besides the slideshow program, the email also carries along the Trojan and puts it onto the computer, and as soon as the victim clicks on the link to a legal auction, the Trojan stirs up and takes partial control of web traffic. It sends fake feedback pages to the victim, for instance. The aim of the malicious Trojan is to allure the prey to fulfill the auction and give up a payment, and as soon as the payment is submitted, the hackers takes hold of the money and expected get going as fast as possible.
People who keep away from launching executables landing via email are advised be capable of easily avoiding this Trojan. Although its control servers remain offline, Symantec guesstimates those at the rear of the scheme will change around and start on it again with latest servers backing the Bayrob Trojan.
