That campaign targeted banks directly, rather than going after end users. The attacks begin with spearphishing emails that have rigged attachments containing the Carbanak backdoor. Once on a compromised machine, Carbanak gives attackers remote control of the machine and the criminals used that as a foothold on the bank\u2019s network and then stole money in several different ways.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese bank heists were surprising because it made no difference to the criminals what software the banks were using. So, even if its software is unique, a bank cannot get complacent. The attackers didn\u2019t even need to hack into the banks\u2019 services: once they got into the network, they learned how to hide their malicious plot behind legitimate actions.
