Banking Trojan Found

Posted on July 25th, 2008 by

An online banking-related trojan has been detected by an Antivirus vendor going around the Internet.

The offending malware was detected by Panda Security, an antivirus vendor. It spreads via email and contains a message indicating an accident involving a Formula One driver Fernando Alonso. The message contains a link that claims to show the footage of the accident.

Once the link is clicked, the trojan is downloaded into the user’s computer. The trojan however, only targets a specific Spanish bank. Experts urge users to use and update their antivirus software. Also, don’t open messages from unknown senders.

    I wonder what that person who created that virus have against that bank? It might probably be either an employee or someone who knows that bank real close. It's hard to make a virus specifically targeted at one thing.
