Nǐ Hǎo TrickBot? Dyre Successor Spreads to Asia

The TrickBot Trojan emerged in October 2016 as new banking malware, boasting a code that appears to have more than one feature in common with the Dyre Trojan.

X-Force researchers following TrickBot’s evolution noted that the malware’s new configurations have recently expanded to include new targets in countries where TrickBot is already operating, such as Australia, the U.K., New Zealand and Germany. But beyond the existing geographies, TrickBot now deploys redirection attacks in Singapore, India and Malaysia.
