Win32.Grams - E-Gold Account Siphoner

I've written up an analysis of the Win32.Grams trojan. It differs from previous E-Gold phishing trojans in that it doesn't steal credentials; it uses the victim's own browser to siphon all the E-Gold (well, almost all, it leaves them .004 grams) directly from their account to another E-Gold account, using OLE automation. This would completely bypass all the new authentication methods financial institutions are using to thwart keystroke loggers/password stealers, because the trojan simply lets the user do the authentication, then takes over from there.
