Kronos malware is a sophisticated banking Trojan that first emerged in 2014. It is designed to target financial
institutions and steal sensitive banking information. The malware is primarily spread through phishing campaigns
and exploit kits. Once installed on a victim's computer, Kronos can capture login credentials, credit card details,
and other personal information by keylogging and form grabbing techniques. It can also bypass security measures
such as two-factor authentication. Kronos employs advanced evasion techniques to avoid detection by antivirus
software and actively updates itself to evade security patches. It has been known to target a wide range of banking
systems and has affected numerous organizations worldwide. The malware continues to evolve, making it a
significant threat to online banking security.
