The San Francisco Chronicle has a scary article about a trojan that's being concealed in....a photo frame!!

An insidious computer virus recently discovered on digital photo frames has been identified as a powerful new Trojan Horse from China that collects passwords for online games - and its designers might have larger targets in mind.

"It is a nasty worm that has a great deal of intelligence," said Brian Grayek, who heads product development at Computer Associates, a security vendor that analyzed the Trojan Horse.

The virus, which Computer Associates calls Mocmex, recognizes and blocks antivirus protection from more than 100 security vendors, as well as the security and firewall built into Microsoft Windows. It downloads files from remote locations and hides files, which it names randomly, on any PC it infects, making itself very difficult to remove. It spreads by hiding itself on photo frames and any other portable storage device that happens to be plugged into an infected PC.

Later on they mention that while the virus could be collected, the only thing it's doing right now is going after is video game passwords! Which could include your MMO! So far they've been sold at Sam's Club, Target and Best Buy! Just because you buy one somewhere else doesn't mean it's safe, so be safe out there folks!

Thanks to mkriss for posting and pointing it out!
