Be careful: "Grey Pigeon" virus steals your bank account

After the panda burning incense virus raged on the Internet, a more "toxic" Trojan horse virus "gray pigeon" also began to spread online. More than 60,000 variants have been derived. Yesterday, the City Public Security Bureau Network Monitoring Corp. issued an early warning announcement, announcing the four types of transmission of the virus through the Internet. Citizens can prevent infections by turning off the automatic playback function of all disks.

Toxicity: Internet bank account can be stolen

According to the relevant person in charge of the network monitoring team, the "Grey Pigeon" Trojan virus is far more harmful than the predecessors such as glaciers and black holes. After the computer is poisoned, remote hackers can easily copy, delete, upload, and download files saved on your computer . The virus can also record every click on the keyboard, and the user's QQ number, online game account, online banking account, and even personal privacy records can be easily obtained by attackers who operate remotely. In addition, remote attackers can even directly control the user ’s home camera and take pictures of all privacy at home. When the "Grey Pigeon" Trojan virus invades the system, it is difficult for ordinary users to detect it, and after stealing the information, the attacker can also remotely uninstall the virus to achieve the purpose of destroying the evidence.

Dissemination channels: webpages, emails, chat tools

It is reported that in February of this year alone, 258,235 computers in our country were infected with the "grey pigeon" virus, and more than one out of every 10 infected computers was infected with the "grey pigeon." The "Gray Pigeon" can be spread online through four channels, including web page spread, email spread, IM chat tool spread, and illegal software spread. The person in charge of the network supervision corps of the municipal bureau said that the criminals used the virus to steal, peep, blackmail, and even publicly "sell" the privacy of others through the virus, which is more harmful than the panda burning incense virus.

Anti-virus measures

Turn off all autoplay functions

1. Anti-virus software users must click to install when the anti-virus software pops up a dialog box reminding to install patches. Users who do not use anti-virus software can use Windows Update to patch. Pay special attention to installing patches for the IE browser. Many "grey pigeons" intentionally put viruses on websites with vulnerable attack programs, and vulnerable machines will be poisoned when they visit these websites. 2. Upgrade anti-virus software in time. 3. Don't run suspicious programs sent by friends or strangers, don't be deceived by the other party's lies. 4. Turn off the automatic playback function of all disks to avoid poisoning by inserting poisonous U disks, mobile hard disks, and digital memory cards.
