How Malumpos gets Installed
editMuch like the other point of sale malware, the Malumpos get into the computer unknowingly and conceals its identity as Nvidia Display Driver or Nvidia Display Driv3r.[11][12][13] This malware appears to be legitimate software to the victims because all the peripherals function correctly. This malware infects Oracle MICROS, Oracle Forms, Shift4 systems and systems accessed via Internet Explorer.[14][15]
