The ZeuS banking trojan is back making headlines, this time for hitting up infected machines with fake enrollment screens for both Visa and MasterCard credit cards.
"When you log into your bank, it says you have to enroll in Verified by Visa, that it's regulated now and you have to do it," explains Mickey Boodaei, CEO at Trusteer, a security firm.
This new variant sits in waiting until the potential victim logs into a list of targeted sites. Once they do, the ZeuS trojan uses this and other shenanigans to trick users into forking over not just credit card credentials, but Social Security numbers, personal identification numbers, and other personal info.
