SCAM: “Australian Prime Minister suffers heart attack!” - Australia - The Commonwealth Bank and Westpac account holders have become victims of a phishing scam in which malicious code reveals the physical location of affected IP addresses using Google Maps. The software installs a trojan capable of keylogging user activity, hijacking infected computers. The scam was circulated as a false news report claiming the Prime Minister suffered a heart attack. It installs a trojan and backdoor code to capture all user input as well as compromising a Web server to allow the hacker to hijack the victims’ computer. The hacker is then provided with details on the number of infected machines in each country, while the Google Maps server is used to translate IP information to pinpoint the machines’ physical location.
