Pittsburgh, PA. (PRWEB) June 05, 2014 -- Malcovery Security announced today that it has issued a special report, ‘The many faces of GameOver Zeus: A Today’s Top Threats special topic report, which is free to download at http://info.malcovery.com/special-report-many-faces-of-gameover-zeus. Despite the recent indictment against the alleged cybercriminal behind GameOver Zeus and CrytpoLocker, there is still much to learn. GameOver Zeus is considered one of the most significant online threats in operation for stealing private data from victims and propagating other types of dangerous malware. The programs have infected hundreds of thousands of computers around the world and have generated losses that exceed $100 million.
In this Today’s Top Threats (T3) Special Report, Malcovery explores:
• The “many faces of GameOver Zeus,” including various distribution methods used to deliver the common banking Trojan.
• A detailed explanation of common delivery methods, such as downloaders, exploit kits and installers.
• How you can gain protection through understanding.

“GameOver Zeus is a classic email-based threat. It can present a fake online banking webpage to trick a user into entering personal and financial information,” stated Greg Coticchia, CEO and cofounder of Malcovery Security. “Once deployed, the cybercriminals would drain victims’ bank accounts into a series of foreign accounts they controlled. With actionable intelligence, such as Malcovery’s Todays Top Threats (T3), enterprises can stop and prevent these type of attacks more effectively than with existing solutions.”
