Trojan Discovered in Energizer USB Charger Software

Post by ph4ever »

U.S. battery manufacturer Energizer has suspended sales of its "Energizer DUO" product after a computer trojan was located in the software accompanying the product. Security experts suspect the malware has been distributed from the company's website since as far back as 2007.
