Kaspersky Lab detects new Trojan what hunts for Money


Mezzo can falsify data in exchange files between accounting and banking systems and is currently sending information obtained from an infected computer to the criminals’ servers.
 
Analysts say that this may be a signal that the Trojan’s creators are getting ready for an upcoming campaign to steal the money.
 
"Analysis of the Mezzo code has shown that the virus can be linked to another much talked about Trojan, which is hunting for cryptocurrencies, the so-called CryptoShuffler.
 
"Kaspersky Lab experts have discovered that the Mezzo code and that of AlinaBot, which loads CryptoShuffler, are identical to the very last line. The codes of both viruses have obviously been written by the same virus programmers, thus they may be also interested in users' crypto-wallets," the company noted.
 
Mezzo is different from the point of view of employing a simpler algorithm to search for and check the files it is interested in.
 
It is highly probable that its functionality is not limited to solely accounting programs, as any virus is known to increasingly employ multiple different modules and functions.
