NEWS: Samsung removes Trojan from US Web site
Samsung Telecom has removed a Trojan horse that was being hosted on its Web site but the site's main page has been inexplicably unavailable all weekend. On Monday, a spokesperson for Samsung told ZDNet Australia that the offending file has been removed but could not explain why the site seems to be experiencing difficulties.
"The malicious code has been taken down and it is being investigated -- [the malware] has been identified and it has been pulled back," the spokesperson said. The issue stems from last week when Internet security firm Websense revealed that Samsung's US-based Telecom Web site [www.samsungtelecom.com] was hosting a Trojan horse that was capable of disabling antivirus applications and logging keystrokes.
