Researchers this year discovered a pair of malicious campaigns that attempted to distribute the recently discovered Amavaldo banking trojan to Brazilians and Mexicans, respectively.

Amavaldo is one of 10 malware families that researchers at ESET’s lab in Prague are claiming to have discovered since 2017, when they first launched an in-depth investigation into Latin American banking trojans. The trojan, whose name means “Lovable,” is anything but.

In addition to its banking trojan functionality, the Delphi-based, modular malware also supports backdoor commands, including taking screenshots, using the webcam to capture photos, keylogging, downloading additional programs, restricting access to legitimate banking websites and mouse and keyboard simulation.
As a final payload it arrives as a ZIP archive with three components: a copy of a legitimate application, an injector and the encrypted banking trojan itself.
