Everything about Trickbot
Trojan for the Microsoft Windows operating system
Trickbot was a trojan for Microsoft Windows and other operating systems. Its major function was originally the theft of banking details and other credentials, but its operators have extended its capabilities to create a complete modular malware ecosystem. First reported in 2016, it was used in a 2020 cyber attack against US hospitals and healthcare systems. In late 2020, the botnet was attacked and disrupted by the Cyber Command branch of the US Department of Defense and several security companies. Wikipedia →
