NEWS RELEASE

Trusteer Warns That Zeus Trojan Bypasses Up-to-Date Anti-Virus Systems 77 Percent of the Time

Online Banking Malware Eludes Detection and Infects More than Two Thirds of Machines
NEW YORK, Sep. 16, 2009 - Trusteer, the customer protection company for online businesses, reported today that the Zeus online banking Trojan infects machines that are running up-to-date anti-virus programs up to 77 percent of the time. These findings are based on a sample of more than 10,000 users of the Rapport browser security service, whose machines were infected with the Zeus Trojan.
Zeus, which is also known as Zbot, WSNPOEM, NTOS and PRG, is the most prevalent financial malware on the Internet today. It infects consumer PCs, waits for the user to log onto a list of targeted banks and financial institutions, and then steals their credentials which are sent to a remote server in real time. It can also modify, in a user’s browser, the genuine web pages from a bank’s web servers to ask for personal information such as payment card number and PIN, one time passwords, etc.
The report released today by Trusteer found that the majority of Zeus infections occur on machines which have an installed and up-to-date anti-virus product. Specifically, Trusteer found that among Zeus infected machines:
  • 31% had no Antivirus protection installed
  • 14% had Antivirus protection installed, but signatures files were not up to date
  • 55% had up-to-date Antivirus protection installed

The full report is available at www.trusteer.com.
