[Computer Security Group] ZeuS Source Code Availability Worries Researchers

 

Security researchers worry that ZeuS source code, which is already available for sale on the underground market, could become widely available for anyone to use.

The history of ZeuS, one of the longest running and most successful trojans ever created, took an interesting turn last year when its creator decided to retire.

Slavik, as the ZeuS author calls himself, took the unusual step of leaving the trojan's code base to Gribodemon, creator of the competing SpyEye crimeware.

His intention was for Gribodemon to offer support to existent ZeuS customers and combine the two threats into one super trojan that had the best features of both.
