Stanislav Lisov, a 33-year-old Russian national, has admitted in a US court to being the mastermind behind the sophisticated NeverQuest banking trojan. The trojan made money for its creator by intercepting victims online banking activities, and then using the stolen credentials in combination with their hijacked PC to make fraudulent bank transfers. The sophisticated malware was capable of bypassing two-factor authentication (2FA) security systems by injecting additional code into webpages. Usernames and passwords for sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MailChimp were harvested by the malware.”]
