New malware detected targeting POS systems
- USA: Monday, March 25 - 2013 at 08:11
Security researchers from antivirus vendor McAfee have said a new piece of custom malware sold on the underground internet market is being used to siphon payment card data from point-of-sale (POS) systems, PC World has reported. The malware was first detected by McAfee's sensor network on February 13 and is currently being advertised on cybercriminal forums as being better than Dexter, a different POS malware programme that was discovered back in December. Dubbed vSkimmer, the Trojan-like malware is designed to infect Windows-based computers that have payment card readers attached to them, McAfee security researcher Chintan Shah said in a blog post.
