PWS:HTML/Phish.DD is a Trojan that proliferates via a malicious website and steals passwords. A phishing website conceals itself as a legal PayPal website. The bogus PayPal website aims at stealing online banking and PayPal account information (credit card details) from the affected computer user by fooling him/her into filling out the details in a form on a fraudulent website for a particular reason, such as updating a PayPal profile, and then, transfers that information to remote cybercriminals. The false website that encompasses PWS:HTML/Phish.DD may use logotypes, layouts and images copied from a legitimate PayPal website. The phishing website that is used to deliver PWS:HTML/Phish.DD is an HTML page that is usually hosted on attacked or infected websites, or incorporated as an attachment to a spam email. Computer users, who visit a hacked or infected website get diverted to a website that hosts phishing pages that are then found as PWS:HTML/Phish.DD. If a PC users clicks 'Save Profile' or 'update' or a similar button after filling out the form, the information is transferred to an external server.
