According to Reuters, the virus is named "Italian Job". According to Trend Micro, 4500 Italian tourism websites have been found to be infected so far. The computer data of users who log in these websites has been stolen by hackers and sent back to a server located in Chicago, the United States. In fact, this is also the widest range of malware infections in history. It is reported that first "Italian" installed a Trojan program in the computer, which records any information input into the computer, including the user's ID and bank password account, thus facilitating criminals to further withdraw funds from the victim's online bank.
