• ZeuS bot is expected to expand, as the source code of ZeuS bot was leaked in May of 2011
• AhnLab Online Security Secure Browser solution available for protecting users against all kinds of internet banking information theft

SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AhnLab, Inc. (www.ahnlab.com), a leading provider of integrated security solutions, recently cautioned against the increasing ZeuS bot threat that attempts to steal personal banking information. Lately, the AhnLab Security Emergency Response (ASEC) identified the distribution of email with a malicious URL and attachment which leads victims to malicious webpage that distributes ZeuS bot.

Recently, the email subject states ‘FWD: I’m in trouble’, and within the email body a user can click on a link that states ‘here is the photo.’ Upon clicking on this link the user is connected to a webpage that installs ZeuS malware by exploiting the vulnerabilities of applications including Java and Adobe flash.

AhnLab’s research also identified that the number of the ZeuS bot in Korea jumped from 44,619 in the last quarter in 2011 to 43,637 in January 2012 alone. According to AhnLab, this kind of threat, including ZeuS bot, that is stealing personal banking information is expected to increase, as the source code of ZeuS bot was leaked in May of 2011.

“Asia, including Korea, is believed to be relatively safe from ZeuS threat than other regions,� said HoWoong Lee, the director of ASEC. “However, the leakage of source code of ZeuS changed the scenery. The number of ZeuS malicious code had recorded its highest in June 2011, right after the leakage. It is very important for financial institutions and other organizations to build robust security systems and to educate, while letting individual users know more about the danger of ZeuS.�

In an effort to combat this threat, AhnLab offers its AhnLab Online Security (AOS) solution, which can block ZeuS, SpyEye, and other “Man-In-The-Browser (MITB)� attacks, as well as network intrusions and packet manipulation in real time.

Unlike the conventional security solutions, AhnLab’s AOS provides integrated and multi-layered transaction security with four primary components including: AOS Secure Browser, a dedicated security browser that creates a protected environment for online transactions; AOS Firewall, detecting and blocking unauthorized intrusions and hacking attempts and preventing the leakage of personal information; AOS Anti-keylogger, keeping account information safe and prevent theft of sensitive personal data that is input via a keyboard and AOS Anti-virus/spyware, an integrated antivirus service that allows users to detect and remove viruses, malicious codes and spywares.

Many world-famous banks including Citibank Korea, Banamex, Banco Santander and Cornerstone Community Bank selected AhnLab Online Security to keep its internet banking environment from today's sophisticated security threats.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Merge Healthcare (Nasdaq: MRGE), a leading provider of enterprise imaging and interoperability solutions, today announced Advanced Radiology of Columbia, a leading radiology practice in central Missouri, will implement its integrated suite of radiology solutions to improve workflow and achieve Meaningful Use.

"Clients like Advanced Radiology understand the bigger picture and see the inherent value in having a complete radiology solution," said Jeff Surges, CEO of Merge Healthcare. "With Merge's radiology suite they now have a single solution that has tight RIS/PACS integration – not just an interface – and provides singular reporting capabilities for RIS and Financials. Plus, they are now equipped to achieve Meaningful Use and obtain up to $44,000 in stimulus incentives for their radiologists."

"We partnered with Merge because their vision aligned with our goal of providing an outpatient diagnostic facility that was more than high tech machinery," said Greg Johnson, CEO, Advanced Radiology. "We believe that for physicians to provide effective and efficient care, the information they need from diagnostic procedures should be provided immediately. To do so, and to successfully position our practice for the future, we needed a complete, end-to-end solution, like that from Merge that would increase our efficiencies."

"Before Merge, our radiologists had to log into multiple RIS and dictation systems, which over time added up to a significant amount of time that could have been better utilized," continued Johnson. "Now, all of our systems, including Financials, will be integrated which will enable our radiologists to spend more time delivering care."

The Merge radiology suite includes Merge RIS, a web-based radiology information system that streamlines workflow and enables providers to meet Meaningful Use criteria; Merge PACS, a real-time picture archiving communication system that provides storage and access to images from any enterprise web-based location; Merge Financials, a web-based billing system that improves revenue cycle management; Merge Documents, a paperless office solution to store and manage documents electronically; and Merge CADstream, a MRI-CAD for breast, liver and prostate analysis and reporting.
