Trojan Horse Attack Bank Portals

There is talk that a Trojan Horse attack has been launched on some banks' portals. Bank customers who use online log-ins could possibly get their IDs and passwords stolen online.
Although I am from the banking industry, I have never liked using online banking. This is why.

The Trojan Horse directs users of infected PCs to a fake website that resembles their banks' portals and when users key in their Ids and passwords, they are stolen. This will not happen on the authentic portal of the banks because the information keyed in is encrypted. However, not to worry, banks here have said that the problem is only a rumour and some banks have said that it is all under control.

U can take a few precautions. U may like to alert ur Private Banker that u will not be making any transactions at all for this period, especially online transactions. Overall, I think it should be fine.
