First spotted in the month of September last year, this trojan is believed to attack banks, credit\/debit card providers, e commerce websites, etc. The major countries targeted by this malicious program include the US, UK and Canada. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, unlike several other cyber threats, this malware doesn\u2019t appear to adopt code from similar programs, which makes it new in the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What it does &#8211; The Damage!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ICEDID works by setting up a local proxy and redirects all the incoming traffic of the victim\u2019s computer through this proxy which is called as a redirection attack. This is how it intercepts the communication happening on victim\u2019s computer and get it hands on all the sensitive information like banking credentials, payment card information and webmail credentials. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The redirection process used by this Trojan is quite seamless which makes it hard for the user to detect any changes. Keeping a live connection with the legitimate website of the bank, this trojan displays the legitimate URL and SSL certificate of the bank while the redirection takes place. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than redirection, this Trojan also works by Web Injection &#8211; a process in which a browser is injected that displays fake content overlaid on the top of the legitimate page. This injected page displays content similar to the original website, which makes the user unknowingly enter their credentials which are then sent to the attacker\u2019s server. This technique is used for attacking banking portals. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to Stay Safe From ICEDID Trojan?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep your antivirus updated<\/li>\n<li>Use a reliable antivirus software.
