This from the FBI's Infragard Infrastructure Daily News:
13. February 10, Help Net Security – (International) Credit score checking app triggers Trojan download. The main reason people get scammed and/or their computer infected online is because they can not contain their curiosity, and that is precisely the thing on which the peddlers of a small application for checking credit scores and criminals records of Brazilian citizens count on. The application is offered for download on a public forum and is simple - it only presents the information harvested from public sites in a tidy manner: But unbeknownst to the user, the application also downloads a banking Trojan. That is why, Trend Micro researchers said, users should always keep in mind that a certain level of trust should be involved when it comes to installing and utilizing applications, and that they should download and install software only from verified sources.
