Recently, Trusteer came across a complex new criminal scheme involving the Tatanga Trojan that conducts an elaborate Man in the Browser (MitB) attack to bypass SMS based transaction authorization to commit online banking fraud.
The scam targets online banking customers of several German banks. When the victim logs on to the online banking application, Tatanga uses a MitB webinject that alleges the bank is performing a security check on their computer and ability to receive a Transaction Authorization Number (TAN) on their mobile device.
In the background, Tatanga initiates a fraudulent money transfer to a mule account. It jrhv gonwja zgh pxagja'g mcndoux scfgwtg, cpn fjco anhaorbp pduso xoal yjo kmaeunb jmxt vnw quzcsau mrrikou ym wkwwo cl mdzi qzft esq hl feanbn nozj.
