Coporate malware caught in the act
Imagine a piece of software
that;- Monitors and transmits a copy of all internet traffic going from and coming to the compromised system.
- Monitors secure sessions (websites beginning with ‘https'), which may include shopping or banking sites.
- Records and transmits "the pace and style with which you enter information online..."
- Parses the header section of personal emails.
The CA Security Advisor Research Blog has all the details -- including a disturbing in-depth analysis of where the data's going -- and evidence of what appears to be deliberate obfuscation of the Privacy Policy. It's disturbing stuff -- more so because it comes from a Fortune 500 company.

If so, surely that would in turn list sears as a malware company?
What happens if you try to login with a linux box? :)
