dyre

The Dyre banking malware, also known as Dyreza, was the subject of a widespread phishing campaign first reported in October 2014. This malware targeted Microsoft Windows systems and was distributed through varied phishing emails containing malicious attachments or links. The campaign employed multiple tactics, including different sender addresses, attachment types, exploits, and payloads, to trick recipients into downloading the malware. Dyre is specifically designed to steal banking credentials and other sensitive information from infected machines. The threat was significant enough to warrant a formal alert from US-CERT, which provided details on the campaign's scope and recommended mitigations. Discussions on WindowsForum.com have covered the technical aspects of the malware and the associated phishing techniques.
