Malware Preying Upon Members at 'Dozens' of Credit Unions
There is malware stealing the passwords and online banking credentials of credit union members, warns the Credit Union Information Security Professionals Association (CUISPA.org).This malware can sneak past most anti-virus software and has been reported at "dozens" of credit unions, says Kelly Dowell, executive director of CUISPA.
Dowell says that the malware, an online banking Trojan called Zeus or Zbot, poses real danger because it is hard to detect and presents the phishing page after a user logs in. It is a particularly nasty malware that is bypassing top AV and malware scanners to compromise member accounts, he continues. Dowell says it is assumed that it is far more widespread than first believed.
A full report on the malware is available at the CUISPA website.
