New virus raids your bank account - but you won't notice

The best way to protect yourself from an online financial scam is to diligently check your bank accounts. At least, until now.

Israeli-based Security firm Trusteer has found an elaborate new computer virus that not only helps fraudsters steal money from bank accounts -- it also covers its tracks.

Think of a crime plot involving a spy who plans to break into a high-security building and begins by swapping out security camera video so guards don't notice anything is amiss. Known as a surveillance camera hack, the technique has been used in dozens of movies.
This is scary.

Long live paper bank statements!

SpyEye is a real nasty, especially since the alleged merger between SpyEye and Zeus.

I track my money very well.

Such virus writers should be decimated using the Roman Empire methods.
