200多万个 login password found on Pony Botnet controller server

Pony Botnet Controller is a zombie network controller, the main purpose is to steal the major web site user login information. SpiderLabs first discovered the botnet on June 30 this year, SpiderLabs only found 650,000 stolen passwords, including about 90,000 Facebook passwords, 25,000 yahoo passwords, and 20,000 Google passwords.

As the Zombie network controller's source code is disclosed, SpiderLabs has further studied it and found that it stores a 200多万个 login password on a server, from well-known websites such as Facebook, Yahoo, Google, Twitter and LinkedIn. Among them, the website login password is 1.58 million, the email account password 320,000.

Unlike previous media reports, the victims were not confined to the Netherlands but spread across the globe. SpiderLabs said that since hackers used proxy servers in the Netherlands, it was not possible to determine which countries the victims came from.
