Security researchers have discovered a new Trojan that has harvested as many as 80,000 unique FTP server logins and is now beginning to target domains, injecting malicious scripts into compromised FTP sites.
So far up to 74,000 unique FTP sites are affected, according to security vendor Prevx, which discovered a server containing the FTP credentials. The list of FTP websites contains some high profile names, including software resellers of security vendors Symantec and McAfee, Bank of America, Amazon.com and others have been compromised.

"The list is now so large we have no way to effectively inform companies in a meaningful timeframe," Jacques Erasmus, director of research at Prevx. "I suspect we'll see an increase in drive by malware in the next day or two."
