Trend Micro reports seeing a spike in attempted Zeus Trojan application infections in the first half of 2013. Zeus malware targets personal and financial data stored on Windows PCs and is controlled via a “Zbot” botnet. Criminal gangs regularly post links to malicious websites that launch drive-by attacks that result in Zeus installations. Recent attack campaigns have involved links on supposed NFL fan pages on Facebook, as well as e-commerce sites selling fake Nike shoes. As of 2010, a basic version of Zeus was fetching $3,000; add-ons could boost the purchase price to above $10,000.”]
