Endpoint Protection

Recently we found a new malware called Infostealer.Snifula.C. Themain purpose of malware is to steal confidential information from acompromised computer and send it to a certain web site. The author ofthe malware can obtain the information from the site and make moneywith it. To make matters worse, the web site has no access control andanyone can access the information there.

As I'm writing this, more than 300MB logs are at the site and we cansee a huge collection of confidential information such as names,addresses, phone and credit card numbers, and login information foremail, online banking, MySpace, or eBay. And all of this informationcan be accessed through search engines.

I think the Infostealer.Snifula.C author does not intend to release thestolen information to the public and this happened by accident.However, for victims, this is a nightmare. Anyone in the world can getyour confidential information.

If you are infected with the malware, you should remove it and makesure that your accounts for both online and offline services are safe.Even if you are not infected, you may be surprised at what you can findout about yourself through a search engine!
