banking Trojan

A new banking Trojan was created by cyber crooks to steal funds from people’s accounts even when they logged out.

A finding published by Trusteer, the transaction security firm, shows that the new Trojan dubbed OddJob allows hackers to hijack customers’ online banking sessions in real time using their session ID tokens. As the session remains open perpetrators can freely rob people of their money.

The Trojan was discovered several months ago, but the firm is only now able to report it following the conclusion of a police investigation.
