Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are assessment reports for different malware threats which have been collected and analyzed by our research team. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards evaluate and rank threats using several metrics including real-world and potential risk factors, trends, frequency, prevalence, and persistence. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are updated regularly based on our research data and metrics and are useful for a wide range of computer users, from end users seeking solutions to remove malware from their systems to security experts analyzing threats.
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards display a variety of useful information, including:
Ranking: The ranking of a particular threat in EnigmaSoft’s Threat Database.
Severity Level: The determined severity level of an object, represented numerically, based on our risk modeling process and research, as explained in our Threat Assessment Criteria.
Infected Computers: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular threat detected on infected computers as reported by SpyHunter.

The Zberp Trojan is a threat that was recently discovered after the Zberp Trojan was used to attack nearly five hundred banks and financial institutions all around the world, most in English speaking countries. The Zberp Trojan is just one more variant of the infamous Zeus Trojan. However, the Zberp Trojan integrates features from Carberp, a Trojan family with strong self-defense capabilities. Combining the two names has resulted in the name 'Zberp Trojan.' In fact, analyzing the Zberp Trojan's code makes it clear that the Zberp Trojan was assembled by combining the source code of Zeus and Carberp, which were leaked in 2011 and 2013 respectively. The Zberp Trojan has been linked to the Andromeda botnet, and the Zberp Trojan is starting to circulate. Fortunately, PC security researchers had already anticipated that ill-minded persons would combine both threat families after their respective codes were leaked to the public.
The Zberp Trojan may be as Threatening as the Zeus Trojan
The Zberp Trojan is a variant of the Zeus VM Trojan. The Zberp Trojan may allow a third party to gather data from your computer. The Zberp Trojan may take screen shots of your computer and track your keystrokes, sending this data to a third party. The Zberp Trojan also monitors your online activity and collects data entered into online forms, including credentials for FTP and POP. It may be possible to append additional features to the Zberp Trojan that may be used for more sophisticated, large-scale attacks.
The Zberp Trojan may protect itself and evade detection and removal using a variety of techniques. These include invisible persistence (allowing the Zberp Trojan to remain on your computer even when the anti-virus scan occurs after start-up). The Zberp Trojan also uses steganography to hide its configuration code in an image file, allowing the Zberp Trojan to bypass detection and remain on your computer undetected. The Zberp Trojan also may have the ability to tamper with your security software, interfering with your computer's security protection to protect itself. Update your security software immediately to protect your computer from the Zberp Trojan.
