> Banking Trojan attacks hit many enterprises hard in 2018 and have continued to grow and evolve throughout 2019. Emotet and Ursnif have been at the forefront of this increase causing trojan activity to grow 5X since the beginning of 2019. These two trojans have become very sophisticated attacks that are being used as delivery vehicles for follow on attacks like ransomware and other malware to maximize revenue. Join us for a dive into the business impact of such malware at scale based on global DNS data with real world examples. We will discuss the similarities and differences between successful campaigns and common TTPs, showcase the distribution of victims and attackers from geographical and industry-based stand points, shed light on newly discovered techniques used by malicious actors, and outline the best approaches to protect enterprises and individuals from infection and data exfiltration.
