Dridex Malware

Cybersecurity experts show that Dridex malware evolved from an earlier product called Zeus Trojan Horse. A Trojan horse virus is something that looks like a safe application or product, but wreaks havoc inside of the system when it is downloaded or otherwise integrated, usually without the end user’s knowledge. A type of malware called Zeus Trojan Horse evolved into something called Cridex malware, a type of banking malware with backdoor entry points that is self-replicating and opens the door to other malware products. Dridex represents the evolution into an e-mail spam-carried malware product.
