Trojan Writers Target UK Banks With Botnets

,----[ Quote ]
| The company identifies two pieces of 
| malware -- the previously undetected 
| Silon.var2 and the longer-established 
| Agent.DBJP - as the two bank Trojans being 
| distributed by Zeus-based botnets using UK-
| infected PCs.
| 
| Silon.var2 now affects 1 in every 500 UK-
| based PCs connected to the Trusteer 
| Flashlight system, 40 times the detection 
| level for the US, with Agent.DBJP affecting 
| 1 in every 5,000 UK-based PCs, again far 
| higher than for the US.
