New Malware That Empty Your Bank Account
New Malware has been created by the hackers that can steal usernames and passwords and defeat common methods of user authentication employed by financial institutions. The important point is that it updates the bank account transaction virtually and it becomes really impossible for the account holder to know if the account has been hacked or not, as it doesn't show any changes in the transaction.
How it Works:
Through the fake mail like for job email, free game download or get unsolicited e-mail from NACHA, the Federal Reserve, or the FDIC telling him or her that there is a problem with his or her bank account or a recent ACH (Automated Clearing House) transaction. The message includes a link in the e-mail that will supposedly help resolve whatever the issue is."Unfortunately, the link goes to a phony website, and once you’re there, you inadvertently download the Gameover malware, which promptly infects your computer and steals your banking information," the FBI said.
Prevent:
The best way to prevent this fraud way of money laundering is to keep your eyes open. Don't ever clicked on any email link from unknown source or if it is asking for bank information. Verify before clicking the link. Don't disclose your Bank related Information on the internet.
Have A Happy Internet Banking :)
