Zeus Trojan Targets Government and Military Workers

From: Angela Moscaritolo

A new campaign of the password-stealingÂ Zeus trojan is targeting workers from government and military departments in the United States and United Kingdom,Â according to security researchers at Websense. The trojan is being distributed through spoofed emails claiming to come from the U.S. National Intelligence Council. The bogus messages contain subject lines such as â€œReport of the National Intelligence Council.” The emails aim to lure users into downloading a document about the “2020 project,” which actually is Zeus. â€” AM
