Fraudsters Have Stepped up Their Social Engineering Tactics

Security team of Trusteer, an IBM company, has discovered several new malware variants that have stepped up their social engineering techniques. Using HTML injection, these malware variants present the victim with new input fields, data security warnings and customized text during login, account navigation and transaction stages. Some malware variants go as far as creating custom, localized pages that are generated based on the victims language preference. This type of attention to detail takes a lot of time and effort from malware authors, but it is necessary to trick victims into believing the fake pages are legitimate.”]
