[pchelpers] News:Hackers plant virus on bankcard Website

  2006-11-18
ANONYMOUS hackers yesterday planted a backdoor virus program on the 
Website of China Unionpay (www.Chinaunionpay.com), the country's only 
national electronic payment network operator, that may result in 
customer information being leaked, Xinhua has learnt.

The backdoor program, Backdoor.BlackHole.2005.a, is capable of hijacking 
customer's computers when they visit the Website, said engineers at 
Rising Corporation, a leading Chinese computer security company.

The engineers said the backdoor program was designed to attack computers 
installed with video cameras, through which the hackers could easily 
obtain access to the owner's private information.
