Russian hackers have stolen €800,000 from Sweden's largest bank Nordea after a sophisticated phishing attack tricked some of its internet customers into downloading a Trojan horse that recorded their account login details.
The first attack took place in August 2006 and was detected a month later. Around 250 of Nordea's customers have been hit by the attack to date.
