Description:
An outbreak of bank-related data theft trojans was observed during the first quarter of 2009. These outbreaks were traced to the Zeus botnet which was implicated in a $6 million dollar commercial account heist on 20 European banks in the summer of 2008.
In March 2009, the Zeus botnet began employing an exploit toolkit known as Luckysploit, which uses an asymmetric key algorithm (standard RSA public/private key cryptography) to encrypt the communication session with the browser. The exact origin of the Luckysploit toolkit is unknown, although the Zeus botnet is believed to be controlled by Russian cybercriminals.
