Malware designed to steal users' Windows Live Messenger password has been released onto the net. The password stealer was released for download via BitTorrent earlier this week by a hacker using the handle "Our Godfather".

Victims would need to be tricked into downloading and executing the malware, which might be renamed in a bid to disguise its identity, in order for the exploit to work.

Standard defensive precautions against viral attacks apply in defending against the latest Trojan. Users are urged to keep patch systems up to date and update anti-virus signature definition files.
