Windows activation Trojan

 

Life is getting pretty dangerous out there in the wild wild web. Enter “Trojan.Kardphisher“, a new trojan that opens an official-looking “Microsoft Piracy Control” box (screenshot1, screenshot2).

 

Trojan.Kardphisher is a Trojan horse that attempts to steal credit card numbers by tricking the user into entering their credit card details to activate Windows.

Although Symantec lists the risk level for Trojan.Kardphisher as “Very Low” any trojan that wants credit card information should be regarded as serious. Never enter personal information, especially credit card information is you are ever in doubt.

If you do have the trojan you can follow the removal instructions here.

Vista users should beware as there is a variant for Vista as well.
