A new financial malware camouflaged as a security module and dubbed “CamuBot” is targeting Brazilian Banking customers.

The malware was first spotted in Brazil in August 2018 in a series of targeted attacks against business banking users and has been since been actively used to target companies and public sector organizations using social engineering and malware tactics to bypass authentication and security controls, IBM X-Force researchers said in a Sept. 4 blog post.

Researchers noted CamuBot's code is significantly different than typical banking trojans as it doesn't look to hide its deployment and is very overt in its use of bank logos and overall branding to mimic that of a security application.
