Joe Stewart Warns of Origami - A Fresh Banker Trojan
Director of malware research Joe Stewart at SecureWorks Counter Threat declared that a fresh banker Trojan named Origami was circulating in the wild. He was speaking at the DLP-Russia 2010 Conference that ended recently. Secureworks.com reported this during the 1st week of November 2010.
The Director outlined that hackers were particularly using PC Trojans for attacking bank clients in the Ukraine and Russia. Indeed, Stewart supported his assertion with one "heat map" on infections by Origami, which suggested that the majority of the Trojan's contaminations were found in Kiev, Ukraine's capital and Moscow, Russia's capital. However, the contaminations also centered within Eastern Ukraine, along with Lithuania, Belarus, Germany and Moldova.
The expert observed that at present Origami was being distributed in limited volume; however, it was extremely adept at capturing credentials. He said that anti-virus software had merely 20% chance of detecting any credential-grabbing Trojan such as Origami.
