A note on a Russian-language underground forum advertised that KINS was available for purchase. A description of the malware indicates many similarities to predecessors such as Zeus, SpyEye and Citadel. The standard version of KINS sells for $5,000 paid out via WebMoney. Additional modules, such as a plug-in that thwarts detection by security software, are also available for up to $2,000. The malware attacks a compromised machine s volume boot record, giving it machine-level access to victims.
