If the user clicks on the link, he will download a copy of the Banker.LGC Trojan on his computer. Luis Corrons, technical director of PandaLabs, describes the strategy as a silent technique of "social engineering", which uses baits to obtain economic benefits by infecting as many computers as possible.
