Another Attack, Again Trojan Prevails

                        Another Attack, Again Trojan Prevails
Intruders, criminal minds use technology to trick consumers to transfer funds from their bank accounts. This time, they use a new window malware to spoof consumer’s bank account. Once the victim logs in to his account, the malware directs the consumer to the window with a message stating that a credit has been made into your account by mistake, and the account has been frozen until the credit is transferred back. Now the malware software modifies the account and presents an online transfer filled in form with wrong routing and account number that the intruders control. The news was released by The German Federal Criminal Police, but does not list any specific responsible of the attack.
