Keylogging Used To Catch Bank Crackers

Posted by Zonk on from the valuable-bits dept.

An anonymous reader writes "BBC News is reporting that the British police National High Tech Crime Unit has foiled an attempted fraud by hackers using keylogging software. The London branch of the Sumitomo Mitsui bank of Japan was the target, and a person has been arrested in Israel after being identified as the recipient of an attempted electronic transfer of UKP13.9m."

    Nah, the TV goes on before the Internet each morning. It was the breaking news story before that tanker caught on fire on the M4.

    The TV version actually had an Internet expert talking about how the keylogger was probably installed. He talked about pop-up advert distribution, email distribution and malicious websites. The TV version gave away more information than the website version.

    Look Mum! I know HTML too!

    Don't waste mod points on crap posts like this.
