It would have been helpful if the article included whether or not typical security programs can detect and quarantine malware of such a small size.
Exactly. And if not included, what do we need to do to protect ourselves?

It's going to have a hard time stealing my online banking login information because I have the best security scheme for it. Robbing a bank would be easier. I'm more worried about the government demanding more money to be printed and devaluing my bank account through inflation.

So now we should open a search engine and search on "tinba. " Wow, thorough job of reporting...Not!
"You can fool some of the people all of the time and you can fool all of the people some of the time...those are pretty good odds!"

Thanks for the notice but like others who've commented, it would have been more helpful to let us know if our current AVs are catching this trojan. If not, what can we do about it. I'm not going to change my browser so what else is to be done?

I keep hoping that those who are responsible for this llegal and hardship-creating behavior will be found and prosecuted. When I think about all their effort to do wrong, I can't help but wonder what good could be created if they used their talent for creating good. Find these devils!

Here is the way I keep my banking log in data secure, and it is simple and will work for anyone who can slam a few neurons together: I create a text file which contains the precise account number of my checking account with my bank. When I go to log in, I open that text file, copy and paste the account number into the banking site 'window'. Then? I return to that text file where I have typed in an abbreviated form of my password (example: this is NOT my password ok?) - password is 'chucknorris1947' which is a combination of one of my favorite actors, plus my year of birth. But I don't have that precise password in the text file, all I have is 'walker47' which reminds me of the REAL password (just in case someone manages to locate and get into that text file.)
Never NEVER click that "remember my account number and password" option on ANY banking website, they cannot guarantee the integrity and security of what you let them 'remember'. Use the copy and paste from a text file routine, be CREATIVE about your password and use an *abbreviation* not the actual password, ok?

Another Microsoft security flaw, imagine that.

For banking, which is not a daily activity for most people, download & burn a Linux live CD (Mint might be a good one, but try a few and find something you like).
When banking, reboot to the live CD, which will not involve your computer's HDD at all, conduct your banking, reboot into Windows.
As far as Windows is concerned, the whole transaction never happened - Windows has "amnesia" about the whole thing. When you conduct those transactions using the live CD, it's as if you used a separate brand-new computer for each transaction.
Since nothing is written during the session and the HDD is never touched, malware can't find a home.

If they would tell you what to do to prevent them, the story would not be so sensational. I have never seen a story like this that has ever been helpful. To me personally, this lower the prestige of the magazine that they print such drivel. We all come to these stories thinking we might find out an answer, but go away learning nothing.

We will need these people one day when the government has cut off all access to information to the people for one, how do you know it's not the anti-virus software companies that create the very viruses that they are claiming to cure for a cost to you and me? They have their purpose on the internet, we may not be able to truly see it now, but maybe someday we will. Just my opinion.
