Abstract

“ Latin America has ceased to be a region that simply receives attacks from across the world.

Since late 2009 it has begun to copy fraudulent business models through which American cybercriminals have begun producing their own criminal resources.

Examples include Brazil, with the web application called TELA (to manage the information stolen from zombie computers); or S.A.P.Z. from Peru, used to propagate malicious code designed to steal bank details. But of course, these are not the only ones. Mexico has also joined this list, with different crimeware developments. Tequila and Mariachi crimeware programs started the trend in this region, back in 2009. But the newest is VOlk-Botnet.
