Description

The Win32/Bancos family name is used to describe many varied trojans, which all share one common feature - they attempt to steal sensitive information that can be used to gain unauthorized access to bank accounts via Internet Banking. The name Bancos is representative of the fact that most variants target Brazilian banks. The first Bancos trojan was discovered in 2003, and there are now well over 14,000 distinct variants, with more being discovered every day.
