Abstract
“ Trusteer, a Boston-based in-browser web security vendor, issued a warning this week about the return "with a vengeance" of "Shylock," a polymorphic financial malware variant the company discovered last September that is now showing up again in end-user machines.
It is aimed primarily at global financial institutions. Trusteer code-named it Shylock because, "every new build bundles random excerpts from Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice' in its binary," according to a blog post by Trusteer CTO Amit Klein.
"These are designed to change the malware's file signature to avoid detection by anti-virus programs," wrote Klein.
