This trojan keeps going and going and going

"It keeps going and going and going" may be the slogan coined for Energizer batteries, but the same holds true for a nasty trojan backdoor that mysteriously slipped into software used to monitor rechargeable versions of the product.

Update

Sometime on Friday morning California time, Energizer finally removed the trojan-laced file from the website. The company has yet to provide any findings resulting from an investigation it pledged to conduct into who was responsible and how the malware managed to slip in. Stay tuned.
