1. ZeuS
Zeus is a Trojan horse that steals banking information by Man-in-the-Browser, keystroke logging and Form Grabbing. Zeus is spread mainly through drive-by downloads and phishing schemes. First identified in July 2007 when it was used to steal information from the United States Department of Transportation, it became more widespread in March 2009.
In June 2009, Zeus had compromised over 74,000 FTP (file transfer protocol) accounts on websites of such companies as the Bank of America, NASA, Monster.com, ABC, Oracle, Play.com, Cisco, Amazon, and BusinessWeek.
In May 2011, the then-current version of Zeus’s source code was leaked and in October the ‘abuse.ch’ blog reported about a new custom build of the Trojan that relies on more sophisticated peer-to-peer capabilities.
