Symantec report – Trojan.Stabuniq Found on Financial Institution Servers

Fred Gutierrez: “Almost a year ago we added detection for a low prevalence Trojan found on servers belonging to financial institutions, including banking firms and credit unions. The Trojan also compromised home computer users and computers at security firms. For easier identification and tracking we recently renamed this threat to Trojan.Stabuniq. Approximately half of unique IP addresses found with Trojan.Stabuniq belong to home users. Another 11 percent belong to companies that deal with Internet security (due, perhaps, to these companies performing analysis of the threat). A staggering 39 percent, however, belong to financial institutions. These financial institutions had their outer perimeter breached as the Trojan has been found on mail servers, firewalls, proxy servers, and gateways.”
