“Attackers also can download whole Web page source code containing database log-in, payment system, customer private information, etc.,” Avast stated in a blog post. The malware versions of FileZilla are corrupted versions of the software that steal users’ credentials and could also be employed for spreading more malware. That’s why some recent news about a Trojan in a popular File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program is a potential cause for concern.įileZilla is a commonly used open-source FTP program, and according to security vendor Avast, malware versions of FileZilla are out in the wild. It’s a truth that does work and many of us who use open-source software daily accept it as such. A basic tenet of open-source software security has long been the idea that since the code is open, anyone can look inside to see if there is something that shouldn’t be there.
