Increasingly sophisticated financial malware such as the Carberp Trojan is becoming more and more difficult to detect and eliminate, warns researchers at Context Information Security. Designed to steal log-in and account information and harvest credentials for email and social-networking sites, Carberp, like its more well know predecessors Zeus and Spyeye, infects machines through malicious files such as PDFs and Excel documents or drive-by downloads.
In most cases Carberp will persist undetected by antivirus software on the infected machine using advanced stealth, anti-debugging and rootkit techniques and is controlled from a central administrator control panel that allows the attacker to dzqo jor kthzeo lquv.
