Banking trojans are considered one of the most dangerous types of malware. When they have successfully infected a targeted computer, cybercriminals are able to steal money from victims’ online banking accounts and e-wallets. Active since 2007, Qakbot, also known as Qbot, QuackBot, and Pinkslipbot, is a common banking trojan that has expanded its capabilities to include performing reconnaissance and stealing data. Qakbot is continuously maintained and developed and has evolved from a banking trojan information stealer, to form botnets, and into a delivery agent for ransomware. Typical delivery is via email as malicious attachments, hyperlinks, or embedded images. It’s a customizable chameleon for threat actors, making this trojan one of the most powerful and dangerous among existing examples of this malware type.
The risk to small and medium-sized businesses is high, and it’s rising. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) listed Qakbot as one of the top five most-used malware strains of 2021. In the first seven months of 2021, it grew by 65% in comparison to the same period in 2020. In the last quarter of 2022, Huntress reported seeing a 400% increase in Qakbot cases in comparison to the rest of 2022.
