Unlike viruses and worms, the threats that fall into this category are unable to make copies of themselves or self-replicate. Trojans are classified according to the type of action they perform on an infected computer.Class: Trojan-Banker
Trojan-Banker programs are designed to steal user account data relating to online banking systems, e-payment systems and plastic card systems.

Malware of this family installs specially crafted PAC files on the infected computer.

Trojan-Banker.Win32.Capper periodically checks the cybercriminal's server for the latest version of the PAC files and updates them.Top 10 countries with most attacked users (% of total attacks)
