Cnet – Hundreds of thousands of Windows computers are believed to be infected with a Trojan called “Clampi” that has been stealing banking and other log-in credentials from compromised PCs since 2007, a security researcher said on the eve of the Black Hat security conference.
When the infected computer is used to access a targeted banking or other site, the log-in and other information is stolen.
“This type of Trojan, banking Trojans in general, are the biggest threat to home computer users and businesses doing banking online,” he said. “You can’t rely on antivirus. At some point you are going to visit the wrong site and they’ll get a Trojan on your computer.”
