Trickbot Now Uses a Bootkit to Attack Firmware

Trickbot malware has been updated with a bootkit module, nicknamed Trickboot. The bootkit can search for UEFI/BIOS firmware vulnerabilities, according to a report from security firms Eclypsium and Advanced Intelligence. Trickbot has been a primary tool used to dispense banking Trojans along with Ryuk and Conti ransomware.
