Malware is any kind of unwanted software installed on your computer or mobile device without your consent – this includes viruses, worms, Trojan horses, crimeware, scareware, rootkits and other intrusions. Some malware is designed to deny or disrupt certain programs or operations, some is designed to take over an entire system, and some is designed to capture personal information, including credit and bank account numbers.
Malware developers continue to create ever-more pernicious programs. On 14 November, the Credit Union National Association announced that the latest version of the Citadel banking Trojan malware includes browser malware that launches fake pop-ups in tandem with online banking transactions – these fake pop-ups trick customers into re-entering their account login information and passwords. The latest version uses social engineering tools to create the pop-ups, even on legitimate banking sites.
