The criminal gang behind the notorious banking malware, TrickBot, has been expanding its global reach targeting bank accounts in over 40 countries across the world. As more criminals start using cyberintrusion and malware to take over bank accounts, TrickBot banking trojan has so far managed to impact users in Australia, Asia, and most recently in Latin America. A research report reveals that the criminal gang has been infecting machines across Latin America, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru.

Earlier in summer, a research report had revealed how Trickbot operators were able to send over 75,000 emails in just 25 minutes, purporting to be from UK’s Lloyds Bank. Thanks to it displaying nearly-correct URLs and legit SSL certificates, more users fall for it entering their banking credentials.
