Ain't this just grand? What a wonderful state of affairs. Perhaps totally unrelated, very annoying nonetheless, my bank doesn't even allow special characters in account passwords. As I say, perhaps unrelated to the topic at hand, PLEASE do use the most complex password for your important accounts, like your bank and credit card accounts. Use a mixture of lower and upper case letters, numbers, AND special characters, and do it now.
Also, check your own security suite. If you are not well-protected, go ahead and review my recommendations, and whatever else you do, before running any anti-malware tool be sure it is updated to include all known malware. My recommendations can be found here: Security Baseline Revisited
So here's the subject story:
"The U.S. financial services industry has issued a warning that a
Russian cyber-gangster is preparing to rob American banks and their
customers of millions of dollars.
In addition, the computer security firm McAfee
has reported that the cyber-criminal, who calls himself “Thief-in-Law,”
already has infected the hundreds of computers of unwitting American
customers in preparation to steal their bank account data."
