Looks like the world wide web is simply not secure enough to be doing all this stuff people use it for!!
A Pakistani government website was compromised with a keylogger and other malware that hoovered up a whole host of information about people checking on their passport application status.
Researchers from Trustwave discovered that the Scanbox JavaScript framework was running on the site.
The keylogger scooped up users' login details for the compromised site, while Scanbox fingerprinted the user's browser and collected details of programs installed on the machine used to sign in. It also hunted for 77 common anti-malware packages, beaming back details of its findings to the attackers' command-and-control servers.
The user's IP address, the referring site, operating system, user-agent string and installed browser plugins were all collected.
