Trusteer, an Israeli security vendor, announced earlier today the availability of a free tool that allows banks to find out which malware variants and Trojans are targeting their websites and customers.

“allows IT professionals to submit their organization’s web address and see a list of malware configuration files that are designed to commit fraud against their brand. By typing their URL address into the Attack Trace search engine, users get a glimpse into the cross section of malware that is specifically aimed at their website and what the code is written to accomplish. The Trusteer Attack Trace search engine searches for leading Trojans and other attack codes including Torpig/Sinowal, WSNPOEM, and NetHell.”

- The typical malware configuration file targets around 500 financial institutions

- Big banks such as Bank of America, Citibank, and Wells Fargo and targeted by virtually all malware variants in the engine.

- International websites for known banks such as Citibank.de (Germany), ingdirect.es (Spain), barclays.pt (Portugal), and hsbc.fr (France) are extremely popular targets.

- Small local banks such as ledyardbank.com, sunflowerbank.com, and anchornetbank.com are favorite targets of many malware variants.

- Credit Unions such as, airforcefcu, ocfcu.org, redfcu.org, and teachersfcu.org are strongly targeted by various malware

- Torpig/Sinowal targets the most number of credit unions (hundreds)
