Malicious Malware Uses Photos of Sunsets and Cats to Steal Banking Credentials

It’s a sad day for the Internet… according to Trend Micro’s security analysts, it’s been discovered that photographs of both sunsets and — even more heartbreaking — cats being shared across the web contain malware capable of getting into your bank accounts.

Known as “ZBOT,” this particular malware downloads a JPEG file to the affected computer without the user’s knowledge. While it’s unlikely anyone would come across the file (due to it being hidden deep inside your file system), even if they were to somehow do so, it would look like nothing more than one of your photos gone astray. * Source:
