My friend had a very unfortuanate experience while he was internet banking yesterday.
While Logging into the HSBC website he was instantly greeted by a pop up asking him to enter account details and also name and address,
Now this person is not overly clued up on malicious activity on the internet, but fortunately he twigged that in all his 4 years of internet banking this never happened. He rang the bank which the advisor then changed te details - i suppose just in case!
The computer in question has Mcafee internet suite 2006 and since then it was ok.
It just goes to show guys that you gotta be careful! so careful!
So coming back to my question - what kind of Malicious file may you think this would be?
and how! did it slip through the net.
Obviously its a scan of some sort?
Would it have been a new malicious file that mcafee isnt aware of as its rather new?
He has a full licence for the Mcafee product - no copy (Before anyone asks lol)
Id like to hear your views! Many Thanks
