The SilentBanker Trojan, as its name implies, targets financial web pages, using a keylogger to steal password details. Although the Trojan itself isn’t new, there is a fresh wrinkle that makes it far more dangerous – a root kit that hides infected files when a user searches for them, according to Vnunet.
Symantec researcher , Liam O’Murchu explained:
“Whenever a user tries to view any files on the computer, the Trojan intercepts that request and removes any reference to the Trojan’s files effectively – making the files invisible.”
