Virus
Security Check: Key-stroke Loggers New ID Fraud Tool
In a recent development of online ID fraud, a virus or malicious program (often called a Trojan), is secretly being planted in computers. The program captures keystrokes and sends them to thieves who use the information to commit identity fraud.
What happens:
- An unsolicited e-mail is received which has an alarming or tempting subject line.
- When the e-mail is opened, the message convinces the user to open the attachment or link to a website.
- Opening the attachment/linking to the website initiates the installation of a keystroke logger file (a program that records what is typed) on the computer.
- After a certain amount of time, number of keystrokes, or when certain characters are typed (such as an account number/bank name), the program sends the information over the internet to the thief.
Protecting yourself and your business:
- Be wary of unrequested e-mail messages: do not open, forward, or reply to them.
- If an e-mail is opened accidentally, do not open any attachments.
- Do not visit links or websites if unsure of the owner.
- To learn more about protecting yourself and your business, visit www.FTC.gov or Ozaukee Bank's Security Resource Center at www.ozaukeebank.com.
