A banking trojan named Bizarro that originates from Brazil has crossed the borders and started to target customers of 70 banks in Europe and South America.
Bizarro is under constant development as its author keeps expanding the list of supporting banks and they modify it to improve anti-analysis protections.
Statistics from cybersecurity company Kaspersky shows that Bizarro's targets are now customers of banks in Europe and South America.
Bizarro will terminate any existing sessions with online banking services by killing all browser processes.
The component becomes active only after the malware enumerates all windows to check for a connection to one of the supported banking sites.
