Another type of banker trojan is designed to display a fraudulent web page that imitates the user’s online bank. When the user enters his banking information into this counterfeit page, this information is sent directly to the hacker. This method is almost identical to phishing, which not only targets customers of banks, but also consumers of web pages such as eBay.
The moment a hacker acquires access to a victim’s bank account, they frequently will drain funds from the account, while simultaneously collect more personal details about the victim for future use. What differentiates this type of cyber fraud from common identity theft is the fact that the criminal does not even need to reside in the same continent as the victim, nor have any hard copies of personal information.
