The [R ]everse [E ]ngineers [D ]ream (RED) crew has released the source code to the SpyEye version 1.3.45 malware to the Internet masses. Normally known for created Warez cracks, RED obtained the code and patched it to eliminate the hardware matching logic used by the builder to tie the malware kit to a purchaser. Typically, a buyer paid $10K for a copy of the trojan but with this edition in the wild, many miscreants will be able to fork the malware’s techniques for their own nefarious purposes. The original SpyEye authors are already purported to have released version 1.3.48 with additional security measures. The malware is typically used for harvesting banking information and credentials for criminals to siphon money from victim’s accounts.
