RSA puts pressure on Sinowal Trojan

A number of financial institutions have been hit by Sinowal Trojan, which has now caused the RSA FraudAction Research Laboratory to intervene and put pressure on the people behind it. The laboratory has said that this Trojan which has a number of other names, Torpig and Mebroot has stolen the login credentials of around 500,000 accounts.

These accounts range from online bank accounts to credit and debit cards, which have been collected up over the past three years. They have also stolen other information, like emails and FTP accounts from a number of websites.
