Attackers Used Malware in Scheme to Manipulate Russian Currency

[silicon_toad2000]

The Corcow Trojan horse program was reportedly used in attacks that
manipulated the exchange rate for the Russian ruble against the US
dollar. The attackers used Corcow to gain access to systems at
Energobank and place US $500 million in orders at non-market rates,
according to a security company brought in to investigate the incident.
Corcow has reportedly infected more than 250,000 computers around the
world.
