Malware That Targets Firefox Only
I know a lot of you use Firefox so I wanted to pass this news item on to you guys. The malware sits in your add-ons folder and runs when Firefox is started and registers itself in the browser's system files as Greasemonkey.

The malware uses JavaScript to identify more than 100 financial and money transfer Web sites, including Barclays, Wachovia, Bank of America, and PayPal along with two dozen or so Italian and Spanish banks. When it recognizes a Web site, it will collect logins and passwords, forwarding that information to a server in Russia.
