Trusteer is warning that Zeus is specifically targeting online banking customers at 15 US financial institutions via the Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode programs.

"According to the internet security vendor, after users have initiated a secure online banking session, the Zbot injects into the browser a copy of each services’ enrollment screen, subsequently making off with all sorts of personal and banking data," according to Infosecurity.

"This version of Zeus, said Trusteer, attempts to trick online banking customers into surrendering their personal and credit/debit card data by claiming new FDIC rules require that they enroll in either Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode to protect their accounts," the article states.
