Trojan Banbra’s New Variant Steals Banking Details
According to the researchers at Panda Security, the notorious 'Banbra Trojan' has been recently identified in another version. Essentially, this malware is designed to capture end-users' online banking details, the researchers stated.
Just like the other versions, the new Banbra.GIM, which affects Windows 2000, 2003, NT, XP, ME, 95 and 98, creeps into computers via an e-mail purporting to have come from a particular banking community in Brazil.
The Trojan succeeds in contaminating numerous PCs by pretending to be a genuine security software. That means the fraudulent e-mail supposedly from the bank presents software that seemingly guarantees the user security while he conducts online banking transactions. But the program actually steals crucial banking details, the researchers elucidated.
