Mouse Click Capturing Trojan
Filed in: Security — March 17th, 2006
Security researchers discovered a new keylogging trojan named “PWSteal-Bancos-Q“, that is able to capture mouse clicks as well as key strokes.
…PWSteal-Bancos-Q also takes snapshots of the users’ mouse clicks and then sends the captured information via file transfer protocol (FTP) to the Trojan’s author. The technique is designed to overcome the use of virtual keyboards by many online banking sites in an effort to avoid keylogger infections.

My two cents
Now, what should you do to protect customers’ from key strokes and mouse clicks logging? Still, education is important. Er.. something like Tmnet ALT + F4 ads?
