Pop-Up Program Snatches Banking Passwords
By Dennis Fisher
June 29, 2004
Customers who use a number of the top online banking sites are at risk of falling prey to a new Web-based attack that snatches user IDs and passwords for these sites.
Among the sites targeted by the attack are some owned by Citibank, Deutsche Bank and Barclays Bank.
The attack is rather complex and appears to use a known flaw in Internet Explorer (IE) to drop a Trojan horse program on vulnerable machines. The Trojan is delivered through a malicious pop-up ad that loads a file called "img1big.gif" onto the machine. The file is in fact a compressed Win32 executable that contains the Trojan and a DLL.
