New TrickBot update makes it harder to detect a malware.




Well known banking Trojan, TrickBot, got a new update which makes it harder to detect.
From 2016 this banking Trojan is continuously evolving.
It is commonly used to steal banking information and provide a backdoor access to the infected machine.
Also, it can operate as a botnet, sending the phishing emails with malicious attachments to help spread itself to additional machines and after that move around the network exploiting the EternalBlue vulnerability.
Recently researchers at Palo Alto Networks provided details regarding the latest Trickbot update which makes a detection harder.
New module, Nworm, was replacing Mworm, which makes sure that after infecting a machine no artifacts are left on it. In addition, Nworm is encrypted at transport. These features make malware detection harder.
Researchers said that to protect themselves users need to have an updated version of Microsoft Windows.
