A New York-based marketing firm is facing bankruptcy after the ZeuS trojan was used to rob the company of more than $164,000.

"Karen McCarthy, owner of Merrick, N.Y. based Little & King LLC, a small promotions company, discovered on Monday, Feb. 15 that her firm’s bank account had been emptied the previous Friday," writes Krebs on Security's Brian Krebs. "McCarthy said she immediately called her bank -- Cherry Hill, N.J. based TD Bank -- and learned that between Feb. 10 and Feb. 12, unknown thieves had made five wire transfers out of the account to two individuals and two companies with whom the McCarthys had never had any prior business."

"Karen McCarthy said TD Bank has dug in its heels and is now saying it has no responsibility for the loss," Krebs writes.
