New Banking Malware with Network Sniffer Spreading Rapidly Worldwide

November 14, 2017 by Brent Hladik 2 Comments

This is an interesting article in that it discusses how attackers used a combination of malware

and network sniffers to attack users to try to gain their bank information.  This is pretty unsettling as

more and more attacks like this happen.  Makes you not trust banks and their software as more and more

cases like this in the news is reported.

    Brent,
    That’s an interesting article for sure. It has practically becoming very concerning to trust banks. The recent attacks on Australian banks too has put up a question to raise i.e. Whom should we trust to safeguard our hard earned money? The thing to actually see is how soon can banks overcome this crisis and put an end to malware attacks

    Brent,
    There will be always new ways to attach people and organizations. The biggest question would be, do these organizations such as bank do the right things to protect us? I am assuming the answer is no, Until now days, these companies don’t really care about building strong IT security departments, they don’t really invest on building strong IT architectures that can fight to protect consumers data.
    Thank you for the article, it’s really interesting.
