Limbo 2 Trojan



 

Cybercrooks have released a custom-built Trojan, dubbed Limbo 2, “guaranteed” by its shady creators to continually evade the top ten anti-virus products on the market.

The Limbo 2 Trojan is touted as being able to bypass products from Symantec, McAfee, AVG and others to steal login credentials from online banking sessions. Crackers hawking tailored versions of the Trojan on underground forums are selling licences for up to $1,300, net security firm PrevX reports. The “guarantee” of non-detection represents a new level of sophistication in the underground malware business, which is borrowing more and more business models from the legitimate software industry.

This is why downloading unknown software off the Internet is so dangerous since these types of programs are commonly “joined” to other products.  Users unknowingly install them and then operate undetected.  If it looks dubioius, don’t download it.
