Talk Description

Banking-trojans are - seen from the criminal's perspective - the most direct way to steal other people’s money. Some people say banking trojans are like rats, you kick a trashcan and six of them go scurrying off in every direction. Most of them you’ll read about once and never again. But there is a big four that just never seem to go away: Carberp, Citadel, SpyEye, and especially Zeus. In this talk I'm going to give you a retrospective view on banking malware, mostly on the notorious ZeuS-Trojan aka ZBot.
