New Trojan re-writes online bank statements to cover fraud

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"New malware being used by cybercrooks does more than let hackers loot a bank account;
it hides evidence of a victim’s dwindling balance by rewriting online bank statements on the fly, according to a new 
report.

The sophisticated hack uses a Trojan horse program installed on the victim’s machine that alters html coding before 
it’s displayed in the user’s browser,
to either erase evidence of a money transfer transaction entirely from a bank statement, or alter the amount of money 
transfers and balances."

It appears that this is something totally new...
