[h=1]Shifu Trojan now striking 14 Japanese banks: IBM[/h]
Researchers analyze Dyre sample with new features
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IBM Security X-Force identified a new advanced banking Trojan, possibly of Russian origin, that is attacking 14 Japanese banks and other financial institutions.
Dubbed Shifu by the IBM team, the Japanese word for thief, the malware may have been active since April 2015, but was recently revealed by IBM Security antifraud platforms, the X-Force report stated.
“Right now Shifu is targeting 14 Japanese banks and as well as select electronic banking platforms used across Europe, including Austria and Germany. At this time, only Japan is seeing active attacks using Shifu in the wild. However, we've often seen malware evolve its capabilities to target new regions and geographies,” the IBM X-Force team told SCMagazine.com in a Tuesday email.
