Trusteer, the leading provider of secure browsing services, today warns that bank customers are being targeted by criminals using regional specific malware that flies under the radar of most antivirus technology to steal peoples online banking credentials and commit fraud. Detection rates for regional malware are between zero and 20%, suggesting that the majority of these attacks go undetected.
Two pieces of regional malware targeted at UK banks have been detected by Trusteer; Silon.var2 .which resides on one in every 500 computers in the UK compared to one in 20,000 in the US, and Agent.DBJP, detected on 1 in 9511 frvxkecck ac exa VS admjogyi lo 1 yl 27,114 dn cyl VQ.
