It’s a sad day for the Internet… according to Trend Micro’s security analysts, it’s been discovered that photographs of both sunsets and — even more heartbreaking — cats being shared across the web contain malware capable of getting into your bank accounts.

CNET is now Trojan/Unwanted Program Central.
I would speculate, based on what I’ve seen, the average adult cat must sleep about 85% of the time if they can get away with it. That’s just what they do. The Sloth marsupial sleeps even more, at times exceeding 20 hours a day, and that’s when they’re in good health.
“Malicious Malware Uses Photos of Sunsets and Cats to Steal Banking Credentials”
Pssst... the meaning of MALWARE: malicious software.
M4L
Have you notified Slings and Arrows of this hairy development?
You know i love cats but i never did trust them..
For later.
That’s Nuclear!
I wear a 3 wolf shirt that wards off these malicious attacks.
This one.
I cannot believe people are so ignorant about protecting their computers and their personal information.
I have Norton Anti-Virus (since 1995) .. and I’ve never had a virus or malware ..... EVER. $40 annually is a great deal.
Secondly, I also have LifeLock to protect my personal info and my bank account. This costs me only $25/mo - and saves me from people trying to attack my stuff - which has already happened to me .. a company who I purchased an item from .. continued sending me stuff I didn’t order - and when I inquired - they threatened. However, when I threatened to sick my attorney on them for bank fraud, they sent me FREE return mailers and refunded the $320 they had fraudulently taken from my bank account. This resulted in my bank changing all my accounts and issuing me new cards. The reason the bank was so willing .. there was a phoney request for $5.82 from a company my bank had never seen on my account before. My bank and I agreed .. the request was probably somebody from the company who refunded me the $320, making a quick attempt to get their money back - and take everything from the rest of my account too.
That’s when I added the bank account surveillance from LifeLock .. have not had any more issues.
People need to be pro-active and get protected from people who want to take our money and our information.
and I thought the worst thing mine did was chew my bed slippers.
Putting malware in lolcatz? Man, that is the lowest of the low. Basement cat will be dealing with these guys soon enough!
Hehehe!
I think that just about anything gets rid of ZBot.
Ping.
