RISK of Malware stealing your bank balances: How to prevent or protect against such occurrence?

The cyber-crime is increasing day by day like GozNym cyber-crime gang which stole millions £.  This is an international crime gang which used malware to steal $100m (£77m) from more than 40,000 victims.

The gang infected computers with GozNym malware, which captured online banking details to access bank accounts.

Among the victims were small businesses, law firms, international corporations and non-profit organisations.

The developers of this malware advertised their 'product' so that other criminals could use their service to conduct banking fraud.

Modus-operandi: Unsuspecting citizens thought they were clicking on a simple link - instead they gave hackers access to their most intimate details.

The suspected ringleader used GozNym malware and contracted different cyber-crime services - hard to detect bulletproof hosting platforms, money mules and spammers - to control more than 41,000 computers and enable cyber-thieves to steal and whitewash an estimated $100m from victims' bank accounts.

 

HOW to protect against such cyber-crimes: a few basic steps and care to be taken:
