A descendant of the infamous Zeus banking trojan, dubbed Silent Night by the malware's author, has emerged on the scene, with a host of functionalities available in a spendy malware-as-a-service model.
Silent Night is advertised with a host of features, according to a Thursday analysis from Malwarebytes.
Yet another variant of the attachment was a VBS script, where Silent Night was embedded directly, in obfuscated form.
Silent Night was announced on November 9 in a Russian-language underground forum, according to the analysis, being sold by a threat actor going by the handle "Axe.".
"The design of Silent Night is consistent and clean, the author's experience shows throughout the code," researchers wrote.
