This particular Trojan got "prime time" visibility in the Washington Post 
last week as a result of a criminal exploit where the accused perpetrator used 
the keystroke logging feature of this malware to eventually "lift" about $40k 
out of the unsuspecting victim's online investement account. Here is the URL to 
that article:

The real news here is that "social engineering" attacks seem to endure 
because of the essential truth of PT Barnum's folk dictum.

And a followup article with more info on the features (nice GUI, etc.) of the 
trojan itself from the same publication:
