Malware mimics Chrome installer, steals banking information

Malware mimics Chrome installer, steals banking information

The Internet can be a very dangerous place if you are not familiar with the more subtle workings within and around, where case in point we have a piece of malware that mimics itself as a Chrome installer. This impersonation will actually work on stealing sensitive data such as banking information while stripping software that is meant to protect online banking transactions. Right now, the trojan seems to target users who reside in Brazil and Peru, although there is no guarantee that anywhere else in the world remains unaffected.
