@Para-Noid,

Thanks, my good friend, for spreading the heads-up on this.
And on the Cyber Crime tracker site keep an eye out for a cyber-crime bot like Alina and friends.
No Alina is not some friendly lady, read here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=149713.0
Search Alina's family here: http://cybercrime-tracker.net/index.php?s=0&m=40&search=Alina

Polonus posted the link to the news (threat detected by the Department of Homeland Security),
but where Alina point-of-sales bot is concerned I was the first one out here on the forums to claim attention to it.
Mind you that in a lot of large department stores Win-XP still is the underlying software at the counter
(quite a cyber crime risk to say the least).

I think Para-Noid just wanted to be friendly and we both pass the credits for the link
and the detection of the threat to the US Department of Homeland Security Officials.
Credits will go where credits  are due.
