McDonalds Japan and Coca Cola announced a contest in which flash MP3 players were awarded to contestants who submitted a unique winning number on a Coca Cola cup order at McDonalds. Ten thousand winners received the McDonalds-branded MP3 player preloaded with 10 songs and the QQPass spyware trojan. The trojan reportedly began to transfer username and passwords once it was connected to a Windows PC. Several reports claim that the trojan would take control simply by plugging the MP3 player into a Windows PC. Other reports, however, dispute whether or not that is how the trojan works.
