A new cyber surveillance virus has been found in the Middle East that can spy on banking transactions and steal login and passwords. The researchers at Russia-based Kasperky Labs who discovered it have christened it Gauss. Gauss is a complex cyber-espionage toolkit, highly modular and supports new functions which can be deployed remotely by the operators in the form of plugins. An analysis of the new malicious software shows it was designed to steal data from Lebanese lenders including Bank of Beirut (BOB), BomBank and Byblos Bank.
