 malware, named Dridex, is hidden in legitimate-looking emails claiming 
to be from companies like iTunes which infect devices when they are

new computer super virus used by hackers.Banking details are then taken 
and passed to fraudsters, the National Crime Agency warned last

 “This is a particularly virulent form of 
malware and we have been working with our international law enforcement 
partners, as well as key partners from industry, to mitigate the damage 
it causes.“Our investigation is on-going and we expect further arrests to made.”Computers become infected with the virus when users receive and open documents in what appear to be legitimate emails.Robert
 Anderson, of the FBI who are also working on the case, added: “Those 
who commit cyber crime are very often highly skilled and can be 
operating from different countries and continents.“They can and 
will deploy new malware and we, along with our partners, are alive to 
this threat and are constantly devising new approaches to tackle cyber 
crime.“We urge all internet users to take action and update your operating system.“Ensure you have up-to-date security software and think twice before clicking on links or attachments in unsolicited emails.”<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
