Much ado about nothing. Dyreza is spread through socially engineered emails and malware links in social media. You don’t just “pick it up” while browsing legitimate sites.

Util, you are far and away one of my favorite FReepers. I have a very specific love/hate for you, because you are one of the most presumptuous people I know in the Internet realm. I envision you much like my late step-dad who would pat you on the back to put a "Kick Me" sign there and swiftly kick you in the hindquarters as you walked away.

Not sure how you garnered that I didn't read the article (I did), and by way of SHOWING you instead of TELLING you, here's a snippet from it:

It commonly spreads itself in large swathes of phishing emails in a tactic is known as 'spray and pray'.

So before you go off half-cocked at people, how about reading the article yourself? I said, and I'm quoting here,

Dyreza is spread through socially engineered emails and malware links in social media.

Not verbatim, but damn close.

And because I know you like to parse words, the spread through social media is also documented, although less common. Most major social media hubs use filters to prevent this scam from propagating, but many banking-vulnerable malware attacks start in social media.
