Thank you for sharing! It is good to always stay up to date on these threats to our computers. I have heard of Andromeda. This type of threat monitors your computer memory of point-of-sale systems for payment using credit cards and steal it while the transaction is taking place and being passed from the physical card readers to the e-commerce applications.

Many thanks for the info.
