    Researchers are warning about a new malware delivery campaign aimed at spreading Fareit, a password-stealing Trojan that can also download additional malware.

    This campaign is targeting users who's DNS server settings have been changed to redirect them to malicious sites without their knowledge. This can be the result of a previous compromise of their routers via malware such as the DNSChanger Trojan, or a malvertising campaign such as this one.
