Websense® Security Labs™ has received reports of a Trojan Horse which targets users of more than 100 financial institutions in the United States and Europe... the malicious code modifies the contents of the hosts file on the local machine with a list of sites all pointing to localhost (127.0.0.1).

The web server uses the hostname received to serve up pages for that particular target. There are more than 100 different phishing brands hosted on this site, all with unique pages for the particular attack.
