PWS:HTML/Loyphish.G is a password-stealing Trojan, which spreads via a malicious phishing website that hides itself as a legitimate online banking website. The fake website attempts to steal online banking information from the victim by tricking the PC user into filling out the details in a form on a bogus website, and then sending that information to remote attackers. The fraudulent website that contains PWS:HTML/Loyphish.G may use images, logos and layouts that the creators of PWS:HTML/Loyphish.G have copied from a legitimate banking website. PWS:HTML/Loyphish.G can also be distributed via an email, which invites the recipient to fill in his/her online banking details. The dangerous phishing website is an HTML page that is usually hosted on hijacked or malicious websites, which an attacker may attempt to lure you to by clicking a link in an email. Instead, a visit to a hijacked or malicious website can be used to divert PC users to a website that hosts phishing pages that are then found as PWS:HTML/Loyphish.G.
