'ABN Amro compensates victims of man-in-the-middle attack'

'ABN Amro compensates victims of man-in-the-middle attack': "Four ABN Amro customers activated a virus allowing a man-in-the-middle attack that overcame the bank?s two-factor authentication. After the attack, ABN Amro removed an ?urgent payment? option from its Web site as a precaution, compensated the customers and launched a campaign to remind users about internet banking safety. The bank says that its customers opened an email attachment that resulted in a virus being executed on their machines. This virus changed their browsers? behaviour so when they went to open the real ABN Amro online banking site, they were instead re-directed to a spoof site."
