Polish Banks Infected with Malware Hosted on Their Own Government’s Site

Polish banks said they suffered malware infections after their employees visited the site of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), which had been previously infected to host a malicious JavaScript file. KNF is the regulating body that keeps an eye out for the security of financial systems in Poland. Local media believes the attack is the work of a foreign intelligence agency. The attacks have the signs of classic network reconnaissance operations, where hackers gather intelligence in order to create a map of a victim’s network before launching their final assaults.
