According to Computerworld, researchers at SecureWorks, Inc, have uncovered a cache of personal data that was stolen from around 46,000 individuals.  The stolen data includes credit card accounts,  and social security numbers along with other data than can be used to steal people’s identities.  The research found that the users machines were beign infected and reinfected by visiting many popular job search sites including Monster.com.

The hackers are using variants of the PRG Trojan to steal data from users.  Upon visiting the site, a user clicks on a malicious ad that takes them to an exploit page that checks the users browser and then serves up one of four different exploits depending on the users machine.  The exploit allows the trojan onto the machine and from there on out, all data the user enters is sent to one of 20 servers around the world collecting the data.
