"A malicious software program has infected the computers of more than 
2,500 corporations around the world, according to NetWitness, a computer 
network security firm."

I suppose this is pretty routine.  I can't fathom the use of Windows. 
When someone nails a financial services login, all our data is at risk, 
even if we all follow best practices.

Lovely, eh?

 From the article "digital security certificates" are targeted as well. 
  I hope those TLS certs had pass phrases on them of good strength.
