9/11: PWS-Banker.cs a Banking Password-Stealing Trojan

PWS-Banker.cs is a password-stealing Trojan that specifically looks to steal bank password related information.

Typically, this Trojan spreads as a result of user clicking links in spam emails which lead to malicious binaries. Recently, there have been spam emails misleading the user into believing that their link points to video clips containing explicit videos of presidential candidate Barack Obama or the spam email may purport to be a link to some tax forms. These are obviously fake emails and do not present the content that they claim to lead to. They in fact, lead to malware executables that display fake content for example play some video clip or diaplay an image, and in the background install malware to perform malicious activities.
