New bug found in Browsers – Berth of In-session Phishing
Bug found in all the Major Browsers!
A new kind of vulnerability is found in all the major browsers which makes it easier for the criminals to steal online banking credentials using the latest way of Phishing called ‘In-Session Phishing’.
As per the Advisory issued by Trusteer, an Enterprise and consumer Desktop Security organization, this type of attack seem more believable as there is a bug found in the JavaScript engines of all the most-widely used Browsers.
What is In-Session Phishing?
It’s a sophisticated and highly effective Phishing attack technique that is carried out while a user is in active session with a Secure Banking, Brokerage or other Sensitive Web Application.
How does it work?
The bad guys (attackers) hack a legitimate web site and insert HTML code which looks like a pop-up security alert. The pop-up would then ask the victim to enter password and login information, and possibly answer other security questions used by the banks to verify the identity of their customers.
