More depositors vulnerable to malware attacks

Depositors have every reason to worry after a new index showed increased frequency of malicious software that allows hackers to steal victims’ credentials.

Cyber-security firm Check Point in its May Threat Index indicated that banking malware Tinba became the fourth most prevalent form of infection in Kenya. According to the technology firm this Trojan allows hackers to steal a victim’s credentials using web-injects activated when trying to log-in to their banking website.
