Cool Web Search caught doing ID theft

Anti-spyware firm warns of massive ID theft ring
By Jaikumar Vijayan, Computerworld, 08/05/05

Officials at Sunbelt Software, a Clearwater, Fla.-based vendor of anti-spyware tools, said the company stumbled upon a massive ID theft ring that is using a well-known spyware program to break into and systematically steal confidential information from an unknown number of computers worldwide.

The operation was discovered Thursday during research Sunbelt was doing on a spyware program belonging to a particularly dangerous class of browser hijacking tools called CoolWebSearch (CWS), according to Sunbelt's president, Alex Eckelberry.

CWS programs are extremely hard to detect and remove, and are used to redirect users to Web sites that use spyware tools to collect a variety of information from infected computers.
