Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) is actively supporting the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in their activities aimed at bringing down Dridex banking malware which has inflicted £20m of estimated losses in the UK alone.
Dridex, considered the successor of Cridex banking malware, has been developed by technically skilled cyber criminals in Eastern Europe to harvest online banking details, which are then exploited to steal money from individuals and businesses worldwide. Global financial institutions and a variety of different payment systems have been particularly targeted by this malware.
