The US Department of Justice claims it’s arrested a member of a gang that deployed the Trickbot ransomware.<\/p>\n

A heavily-redacted indictment<\/a> names Vladimir Dunaev as a developer of the malware, and alleges he was “a Malware Developer for the Trickbot Group, overseeing the creation of internet browser injection, machine identification, and data harvesting codes used by the Trickbot malware”.<\/p>\n

Trickbot is a banking trojan derived from a similar piece of malware called “Dyre”. The DoJ claims it could “capture online banking login credentials and harvest other personal information, including credit card numbers, emails, passwords, dates of birth, social security numbers, and addresses from infected computers through the use of web injects and keystroke logging”.<\/p>\n
