Bad news for those protecting point-of-sale systems against cybercrime.
Bleeping Computer reports:
On the malware scene, there is no clearer sign of trends to come than the leaking of a malware family's source code.
Based on this assumption, we can now expect an influx of Point-of-Sale malware in the coming months after the release of the source code of the TreasureHunter PoS malware on a Russian-speaking cybercrime forum in March, this year.
Security researchers from Flashpoint, the ones who spotted the leaked source code, confirmed its validity.
"The source code is consistent with the various samples that have been seen in the wild over the last few years," said Flashpoint Director of Research Vitali Kremez.
