New malware program Punkey targets point-of-sale systems

Point-of-Sale (PoS) terminals have become an attractive target for hackers over the past year. PoS intrusions were one of the top three causes for confirmed data breaches last year. Trustwave researchers have uncovered yet another RAM-scraping PoS threat they’ve named Punkey. Punkey has versions for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows-based PoS terminals and installs a keylogger to capture what employees type on such systems. The malware can also download and execute other malicious files, including updates for itself.”]
