More than 4,000 web users every day are being infected by the Pinch Trojan, even though its creators are now behind bars, says Prevx.

According to the security fim, a new version of the malware is penetrating existing antivirus software and then hides on a PC, stealing sensitive personal data such as bank account log-ins and passwords.

Prevx says that currently the Trojan is affecting web users in the US and South America with under 25 percent of those infected based in the UK.
