A new strain of the Backoff point of sale malware has been detected in the wild by security experts at Fortinet. The new variant dubbed ROM (W32/Backoff.B!tr.spy) is an improved version of the popular POS malware. Unlike previous versions it doesnt disguise itself as a Java component, but instead, a media player using the mplaterc.exe. ROM is able to extract Track 1 and Track 2 of credit/debit card used on PoS terminals for payments.”]
