Abstract

“ Researchers at Panda Security have uncovered a botnet that not only swipes financial information, but also goes after rival malware.

PandaLabs, the company’s research arm, recently detected a new bot called Ainslot.L targeting Windows machines. The malware’s primary job is to log user activities, download additional malware to take control of the system and steal log-in information related to online banking sites. But as a side bonus, the malware goes on a seek-and-destroy mission targeting other bots, including ZeuS and DarkComet.
