It looks like the nasty Dyre or Dyreza banking trojan has its eyes on Windows 10 and the browser Edge.
Untold fortunes have been ripped from unsuspecting victims. IBM reports that in one such attack, an organization had $1million stolen by the malware.
At present it has infected some 80,000 machines with that number expected to rise.
Dyre is a very capable piece of malware, but researchers are unsure as to how it will fare against Microsofts Edge. Heimdal Security's Andra Zahria says the new Dyre variant can hook Edge and kill unnamed security software on victim machines.
Zahria says: "The cyber criminals behind Dyreza often spread the malware via spray-and-pray spam campaigns, which are sent to random recipients."
" … Dyreza is also a crime-as-a-service network” that anyone can buy into. The authors have now added support for both 32bit and 64bit systems.
