Bugat (Zeus family)
Bugat is another banking Trojan, with similar capabilities to Zeus – the notorious data-stealing Trojan – which is used by IT criminals to steal financial credentials.

Bugat targets an infected user’s browsing activity and harvests information during online banking sessions. It can upload files from an infected computer, download and execute a list of running processes or steal FTP credentials.

Bugat communicates with a command and control server from where it receives instructions and updates to the list of financial websites it targets.

The collected information is sent to the cybercriminal’s remote server.

Cybercriminals spread the malware mostly by inserting malicious links in the e-mails they send to the targeted users. When a user clicks a malicious link, he is directed to a dangerous website where the Bugat executable downloads on the system.
