SpyEye Trojan Source Code Leaked 55
wiredmikey writes "The SpyEye malware kit has long been both the bane of unsuspecting victims and a boon for cyber-criminals. Now, according to security researchers, the situation may have taken a turn for the worse. The SpyEye Builder patch source code for release 1.3.45 was leaked by the Reverse Engineers Dream Crew (RED Crew) recently after a crew member was able to locate a copy of SpyEye Builder 1.3.45 and create a tutorial that enables a reader with SpyEye Builder to crack the hardware identification."

with the source code out, it should be easy to plug the security holes that the spyware uses, and it should be easy to generate hashes and heuristics for virus scanners to detect spyware on infected computers. In theory anyway.
