Well known Ramnit worm incorporates tactics from Zeus Trojan to commit online banking fraud
Trusteer, the leading provider of secure web access services, yesterday warned that it has discovered the 18 month old file infecting worm Win32.Ramnit has morphed into financial malware and is actively attacking banks to commit online fraud. Ramnit configurations captured and reverse engineered by Trusteer were found to incorporate tactics from the Zeus financial malware platform.
