IRC: Credit Card Number In IRC Chat
This signature detects a potential credit card number being sent through IRC. The Trojan horse "bots" will commonly transmit data captured from key loggers and other resources through an IRC command and control (C&C) channel. The source host could be compromised by a Trojan horse and should be investigated.
