British police on Wednesday announced the arrest of two people in the city of Manchester on suspicion of using the so-called ZeuS Trojan horse to commit banking fraud. The couple, who were detained Nov. 3, are out on bail pending trial. ZeuS, also known as “Zbot,” is a notorious bit of malware used to steal users’ banking and other personal information from their computers. It has been around for several years in several flavors because there are online toolkits that make it easy to create new variants.
