of the fresh Pony loader version and determined that a large number of digital currency clients for multiple types of digital money are targeted.
The list identified by the researchers includes Electrum, MultiBit, Litecoin, Namecoin, Terracoin, Bitcoin Armory, PPCoin (Peercoin), Primecoin, Feathercoin, NovaCoin, Freicoin, Devcoin, Frankocoin, ProtoShares, MegaCoin, Quarkcoin, Worldcoin, Infinitecoin, Ixcoin, Anoncoin, BBQcoin, Digitalcoin, Mincoin, Goldcoin, Yacoin, Zetacoin, Fastcoin, I0coin, Tagcoin, Bytecoin, Florincoin, Phoenixcoin, Luckycoin, Craftcoin, Junkcoin and the original Bitcoin client.

However, cybercriminlas also seem to have implemented the possibility to decode passwords saved by a large number of programs, which include digital currency clients, FTP managers, email clients, file managers, as well as web browsers.

Researchers from Damballa analyzed a sample of the fresh Pony loader version and noticed that it connected to a domain hosted on CloudFlare global content delivery network (CDN), which would mask suspicious traffic.
CloudFlare has been alerted and the hosting account has been suspended, thus preventing any communication with the command and control server.
Pony loader is also known as Fareit and besides its infostealing components, it is also used to download other malicious content; one example is the GameOver Zeus Trojan, which was retrieved from compromised web locations or servers under the control of the cybercriminals.
The loader contains a builder for the malware binary and, according to Damballa, creating the virus requires only a few clicks.
Given that the new version is already up for sale, Damballa expects an increase in criminal activity targeting digital currency.
