Our IT Security team is reporting that there is a new Trojan (computer virus) attack circulating on the Internet that is being distributed by an email that appears to be from NACHA.org.

The email contains information about an ACH transaction initiated from your bank account that has been rejected. The email then requests that you click on a link to review the transaction report. It is reported the link will install the Jabber/Zeus Trojan. The Jabber/Zeus Trojan steals online banking credentials.

Listed below is an example of the email:
