Russian computer security firm Kaspersky Lab has warned Internet users to be on the lookout for a new form of Skype-borne malware for Windows that secretly installs bitcoin-mining software. Once installed, hackers would be able to use their victim's computer to mine bitcoins.
Through a deal with Credit Mutuel Bank and the investment firm Aqoba in France, Bitcoin-Central now has an international bank ID number, meaning it can send and receive transfers directly with other banks, as well as issue debit cards.
