Keylogger Trojan hits Brazilian banking sites

A new, advanced keylogging Trojan horse targeting users of financial Web sites can record mouse clicks as well as keystrokes, warns PC Tools.

The Trojan, a variant of PWSteal.Bancos.Q, has so far affected only Brazilian banking sites, but is likely to spread, according to PC Tools' malware research center which discovered the trojan Wednesday.

The Trojan monitors users' Internet usage, collects all log-in information entered by users on financial Web sites via mouse clicks and keystrokes and then sends that information back to the author of the Trojan. Keylogger Trojan hits Brazilian banking sites - Computerworld
