INFO FROM NEWS SITES, MORE INFO AT http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Technology/Computer-Virus-Zeus-V3-Hits-Large-UK-Financial-Institution-And-Bank-Customers-Says-M28-Security-Labs/Article/201008215681025

On 11th august a virus was found that in just 10 minuits robbed 3000 people of £675,000, the ZEUS V1 AND V2 were initially tried and internet experts M86 are baffled how V3 got through.

The threat is not neutral at the moment and the banks in which it has affected are not yet being released.

Like always it is reccomended to have regular, updated software such as internet explorer and firefox and the latest version of antispyware, virus, firewall etc and M86 say it should be blocked.

Though if you get infected there is yet to be a cure for the problem and it means that if you get it and your online banking details are taken, it displays a fake balance so you are unaware that money has been taken.

The east europeancyber criminals are beating the system by sending money to neutral peoples accounts and offering them a cut to store it for them.

UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE, FREE ANTIVIRUS AND FIREWALLS INCLUDE: MALWARE BYTES, AVAST, AVG AND PC TOOLS FREE ANTI SPYWARE INCLUDE: PC TOOLS, SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY AND OTHERS, JUST TO REDUCE THE RISK AND ALWAYS BE VIGILANT WHILE USING ONLINE BANKING


MY AIM IS TO ALERT NOT ALARM, TAKE THE PRECAUTIONS AND BE SAFE :)

Yeah ok you get money by being good at something, but they are STEALING no matter how good you are at something it doesn't give you the right to steal hard earned money from other people. Besides why are you defending them? If they are so good with computer stuff why don't they do something worth while?

Because people like to get rich quick. I'm not defending them, but that's how it is. Why do people grow pot in their basements? Because they can make as much as if they worked a legit job for a whole year in two months. How can you NOT see the appeal in that, regardless of whether it's illegal or not?

i do see the appeal of that i never said there was no appeal its still f***ed up besides if your smart you wont steal that much money all at once cuz people will notice if they would of done it over a longer period of time maybe they would of gotten away with more they just got too greedy and in texas people dont have basements so we grow our weed indoors and depending on what kind of weed you are growing you can make more $$ eather way if you sell weed you are not stealing money you are still earning it so both are illegal but at least if you grow and sell weed you work for your $$
