Virus Alert
The Trojan.Banker Virus is designed to steal financial account information
by attempting to log user activity including user ID and password
information and then sending the stolen information to the hacker at a
predefined remote location. This Virus monitors Microsoft® Internet
Explorer and waits for the end customer to visit one of dozens of
predefined banking and financial websites. This Trojan may also appear to
look like a Phishing scam to some end customers.
As an example of what you might experience, once you begin the log-on process, the Virus creates a pop-up window to replace the
actual log-on page. These pop-up windows are customized for each website
and designed to spoof the appearance of the legitimate log-on page.
Account information entered into these pop-up windows is captured and
emailed to the attacker. The hacker is then able to log into your account using their your ID and password.
We recommend that as a precaution, all customers regularly update antivirus and/or Spyware tools to protect them from general Internet threats.
Two popular antivirus software manufacturers are McAfee and Symantec.
A free product to help stop spoofing is the Spoof Stick.
