The intense revival of Briz Trojan

Security firm Panda Software has just warned of the emergence of a new variant of the Trojan horse.

Trojans Briz is a trojan specializing in stealing passwords and online bank account details of users.

The Briz.I variant, according to security vendor, may also be related to a recent online scam. Accordingly, this fake trojan provides information that allows you to order itself for $ 990. But it is actually to steal the bank accounts of the victims.

However, the security firm also warned that the creator of the trojan could be trading with this dangerous trojan.

" Perhaps the creator of the Briz trojan has decided to make a profit directly from selling Briz variants ," said Lui Corrons, director of Panda Software. " Briz.I may be a new variant and a proof that its author is using itself to do business while the variant related to the previous scam is still on the Internet. " .

Panda Software warned that there are now more than 2,700 computer systems in 120 countries and territories infected with the new variant Briz.I.

Once infected, the malware is a system process called 'iexplore.exe'. When enabled, it sends information such as IP address, location . to its owner.

Briz.I has the ability to automatically integrate into Internet Explorer and collect all information entered in online forms.

This trojan is difficult to detect because it has the ability to prevent access to secure web sites.
