Forget Phishing: Hackers Leave Banking Trojans in Parking Lot

Filed in archive Storage Stuff by Eric Hanson on April 26, 2007

You know how your mother told you not to pick things up off the ground? Well, here's why: hackers left USB sticks in a parking lot in London loaded with a Trojan horse that steals banking information. Insert the stick into your computer and bang! you're suddenly paying out money to hacker without knowing why or how. In other words, don't go grabbing that cool looking flash drive off the ground because you think you just scored some free storage. Unless it's taped to a bathroom wall in Portugal, of course.
