Zeus Bot

Zeus Bot: Not a new term, nor do we know who coined it, but one you should be aware of. A Bot Net disguised as a standard, innocuous-looking email postcard that carries a virus linking it to the most pervasive Bot Net known. We're not sure of the term's derivation, but Zeus -being the mythical Greek god of thunder, might liken it to clicking on this phony link like being struck by lightning - it will steal your passwords, your bank information, your money, everything it can link to in your profile.
