| Re: Cyber attack hits bank websites Thanks for the heads up. Anyone know if this TROJAN called SILENTBANKER only targets windows systems running IE ? Does Firefox offer better protection ? I wonder if linux systems are effected ?

| Re: Cyber attack hits bank websites The Trojan accesses the following URLs for configuration, updates, and to send stolen data: • iloveie.info • webcounterstat.info • microcbs.com • reservaza.com • screensaversfor-fun.com • mystabcounter.info • 85.255.119.218 (for what it's worth I added these to my host file and my router) The Trojan also downloads a copy of Trojan.Flush.J, which changes the users DNS settings to the following attacker settings: • 85.255.116.133 • 85.255.112.87 Symantec Security Response Weblog: Banking in Silence |

| Re: Cyber attack hits bank websites Thanks for the info. I've already scanned my computer several times for it. I think I'm free of it, but I'm not taking any chances.
