New And Extremely Dangerous Trojan On The Net by masciv: 12:18am On Dec 05, 2013
Your bank account under is threat Cybercriminals create one of the most advanced computer viruses ever -
and even software won't protect you

Neverquest Trojan is a malicious program that can empty bank accounts
Its makers claim it can attack ‘any bank in any country’
The Trojan has already targeted 28 sites including Fidelity Investments
Neverquest can also use information in accounts to play the stock
market
It hides on malicious sites and infects computers to steal login details
A team of Russian cybercriminals have created a computer virus so
sophisticated it can steal the money from any bank account in any country.
Called the Neverquest Trojan, it lies hidden on malicious websites or infected
computers and can steal the usernames and passwords for people’s online
banking accounts.
Once it has access to these accounts it can empty them completely and is so
advanced, security experts are warning that traditional antivirus software isn't
enough to keep users protected.

HOW DOES NEVERQUEST WORK?
Neverquest sits on malicious websites and can infect computers when users
click on links to these dangerous sites.
Special scripts have been created for the Internet Explorer and Firefox
browsers and these give the cybercriminals remote access to the user’s
computer.
Once a computer is infected, Neverquest can record the usernames and
passwords to online bank accounts.
This information is sent to hackers who can then use it to gain access to
accounts.
After gaining access to a user’s account, cybercriminals make transactions
and transfer money from the user to their own accounts or - to keep the trail
from leading directly to them - to the accounts of other victims.
Kaspersky Lab said protection against threats such as Neverquest requires
more than ‘just standard antivirus’ and advises customers to be extra vigilant
to make sure they only access official sites and don’t store passwords in
cookies, or on their computers.
This is because the Trojan has been designed to contain ‘just about every
possible trick’ known to hackers to avoid being caught and disabled.

Not much of a threat.
Most Nigerian Internet banking platforms require a hardware token to authorise fund transfers.
