VERY IMPORTANT

Brazil is a well-known country with plenty of banking trojans developed by local crooks. The Brazilian criminal underground is home to some of the world’s busiest and most creative perpetrators of cybercrime. Like their counterparts’ in China and Russia, their cyberattacks have a strong local flavor, and for a long time, they limited their attacks to the customers of local banks. But the time has come when they aggressively expand their attacks and operations abroad, targeting other countries and banks. The Tetrade is our designation for four large banking trojan families created, developed and spread by Brazilian crooks, but now on a global level.
