A tactic that is being seen more often is for attackers to create fake and convincing web sites that pretend to be legitimate software. These fake sites, though, distribute password stealing Trojans instead.

A new site was discovered by security researcher MalwareHunterTeam called gamebooster.pro that is identical to the legitimate site pcgameboost.com.
The difference, though, is that while pcgameboost.com distributes a legitimate software program called Smart Game Booster, the gamebooster.pro site distributes the Baldr password and information stealing Trojan.

As the infection is executed only once, does not display an install screen, and deletes itself after, victims would think there is a problem with the program as nothing would be shown on the screen.
The attackers, though, would now have access to their saved login credentials and other information and could use it for a variety of attacks.
