    According to The Register, seems IBM Security has dissected some JavaScript code that was injected into people’s online banking pages to steal their login credentials, saying 50,000 user sessions with more than 40 banks worldwide were compromised by the malicious software in 2023.

    Judging by the evidence to hand, it appears the Windows malwareΒ DanaBot, or something related or connected to it, infects victims’ PCs – typically from spam emails and other means – and then waits for the user to visit their bank website. At that point, the malware kicks in and injects JavaScript into the login page. This injected code executes on the page in the browser, and intercepts the victim’s credentials as they are entered, which can be passed to fraudsters to exploit to drain accounts.
