“Banking malware has become highly competitive and Shifu is a reflection of how in many ways malware development has become Darwinian, following the survival of the fittest. By borrowing best of breed features from different pieces of malware, the developers are both reusing existing code as well as enabling their tool to adapt to their target environment. To take it a step further by blocking other potential rival malware, they ensure their malware survival and persistence.”[/su_note][su_box title=”About Tripwire” style=”noise” box_color=”#336588″]
