The Dyreza banking trojan has (unfortunately) been updated, and now can target users sporting Windows 10 and its internet browser, Microsoft Edge.
The new version of the banking trojan was spotted and analyzed by EU-based security firm
Heimdal Security, which claims that Dyreza will now also seek and find security products, terminating their underlying OS processes.
This new feature works regardless of the PC’s underlying architecture, 32-bit or 64-bit, and affects all operating systems, not just Windows 10.
"By adding support for Windows 10, Dyreza malware creators have cleared their way to growing the number of infected PCs in their botnet", Heimdal writes in a blog post. |This financial Trojan doesn’t only drain the infected computers of valuable data -- it also binds them into botnets".
According to the report, 80.000 machines are already infected with Dyreza worldwide and the number is expected to increase.
