Exactly five years ago, in October 2016, our solutions first encountered a Trojan named Trickbot (aka TrickLoader or Trickster). Found mostly on home computers back then, its primary task was to steal login credentials for online banking services.

News outlets recently reported that Trickbot’s authors have hooked up with various new partners to use the malware to infect corporate infrastructure with all kinds of additional threats, such as the Conti ransomware.
