FTP server details -- including the user name, password and server addresses -- from thousands of large sites were contained in the database, Finjan said, no doubt meant to be sold off to scam artists. The 8,700 stolen FTP accounts found include some of the world’s top hundred domains, Finjan added. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://timesonline.typepad.com/technology/2008/02/unsettling-disc.html"><P>The discovery appears to be another piece of evidence pointing to a new trick favoured by cyber fraudsters: infecting large websites with malware. Over the past six months, there has been <A href="http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article3205516.ece">an alarming increase</A> in the number of sites that are unknowingly hosting malicious code, infecting their visitors with an errant click. Sure enough, Finjan reports, "these stolen  (FTP server) credentials enable criminals to compromise servers and automatically inject crimeware to infect users visiting them".</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C3038CF4-B6D8-4EBF-BA58-55DE777DE0A0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
