Dodgy installer drops Trojan in Japanese Buffalo update

By Richard Chirgwin, 4 Jun 2014 Buffalo in Japan is red-faced after its Website shipped Trojan-infected Windows driver updates for a bunch of its peripherals, including broadband routers, home NAS, and Bluetooth mice.

According to this notice (Google translation here), the installers were modified to include Infostealer.Bankeiya.B, which steals bank account data.

Symantec reports that Buffalo moved quickly, removing the compromised files on the same day, May 27, as they appeared.
