A new version of the notorious Carbanak Trojan, also known as Anunak, has been spotted in the wild by researchers at Denmark-based CSIS Security Group.
Carbanak made headlines in February when Kaspersky Lab revealed that it had been used by a multinational cybercriminal gang to pull off an unprecedented cyber heist. The cybercrooks used the malware to infiltrate over 100 banks across 30 countries and steal as much as one billion dollars. Most of the victims were located in Russia, the U.S., Germany, China and Ukraine.
There have been only a few reports of Carbanak activity since Kaspersky published its research paper on the group’s operations. However, as CSIS discovered last week, the Carbanak malware is still being used in attacks targeting major organizations.
Experts discovered the first new Carbanak sample last week while conducting forensic analysis on an infected Windows machine that malicious actors had compromised in an effort to carry out fraudulent online banking transactions.
