Users should be cautious if they receive an email purportedly containing information about an Automated Clearing House (
ACH) debit transfer created on their behalf, as it could lead to malware, researchers from anti-virus company MX Lab, said in a
blog post Wednesday. Attackers have been circulating a trojan in emails containing subject lines such as: “ACH payroll payment was not accepted by Central Trust and Savings Bank.” The messages direct users to click on a link to review the transaction details, which lead to a site where malware is hosted. The malicious code executes several Windows registry changes and establishes a connection with the attackers' IP address.
