New trojan lets you steal your own cash

Malware-peddling scumbags have developed a particularly sneaky banking Trojan that attempts to trick victims into transferring funds into bank accounts controlled by cybercrooks or their partners.

The Trojan generates a fake message at the point victims log into their bank account warning them of a mistaken credit to their accounts that supposedly needs to be reversed in order to unfreeze that account. The malware falsely inflates displayed account balances on infected machines in order to make the ploy more plausible.
