RSA to provide trojan removal services
Anti-fraud system provides avenue for reporting and stopping targeted attacks.
Security firm RSA has announced a new system to block spyware and phishing fraud, by taking down sites used
to spread malware and gather data. The FraudAction Anti-Trojan Service will be generally available in April.
RSA's scheme aims to reduce financially motivated malware attacks, by identifying sites hosting malware and
acting as drop areas for data gathered by spyware and phishing websites. The service is aimed primarily at
banks and other financial institutions, the main target of such attacks.
RSA will team up with several partners to provide anti-malware detection, used to spot trojans with
keylogging and other spyware functionality, and links to ISPs and other online services alongside its existing web
analysis systems, to identify suspect sites and arrange to have them shut down.
More details are available in a release from RSA,
