Trojanized, info-stealing PuTTY version lurking online


A malicious version of the popular open source Secure Shell (SSH) client PuTTY has been spotted and analyzed by Symantec researchers, and found to have information-stealing capabilities.

PuTTY, which is written and maintained primarily by Simon Tatham and can be freely downloaded from the project's
official site, is a popular software with admins and developers looking to connect to remote servers through encrypted means.
