Australian Firm Targeted With Trojan Keylogger CDs

Steven Deare writes on ZDNet Australia:

A low-tech approach to phishing has caught a NSW-based organisation after its employees were mailed CD-ROMs containing hidden keylogging software.

While the identity of the organisation has not been revealed, the perpetrators knew their target as the CD-ROMs were addressed to the organisation.

AusCERT (Australian Computer Emergency Response Team) spokesperson Macleonard Starkey told ITRadio.com.au that, once inserted into staff computers, the CDs started a Windows Media Player executable file. In the background, keylogging software was downloaded.
