Two new pieces of malware have been discovered that are intentionally aiming themselves at UK banking customers.
Security company Trusteer found the malicious programs, which are said to “fly under the radar” of anti-virus software to steal online banking logins in order to commit fraud.
Silon.var2 has been found on one in every 500 computers in the UK – compared to one in 20,000 in the US – and Agent.DBJP was found on one in 5,000 – compared to one in 60,000 across the Atlantic.
The company has also discovered two new Zeus botnets aimed at UK consumers, which have only been found on UK machines and only target UK-based banks.
