QUOTE(Gint @ Jul 2 2004, 03:58 PM) Did I get all of this straight? Lotta techie reading for Friday eveining. no. it's not JavaScript running on a IIS server, that would be server side javascript, which is different (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) this needs to hack into a server first, then alter your web-pages to include a additional JavaScript footer that automatically downloads a executeable from a server in russia which in turn is executed (and installed) by your local IE ... this program then scans your machine and every time you type in a username and password on a webpage (think online-banking) it'll record your login and send it back to the server in russia ... all of that without you even knowing. pretty clever, eh?
