Kaspersky, a Russia-based cybersecurity firm, revealed recently that it has discovered samples of ‘Dtrack’ malware from enterprises across Indian states including Maharashtra, Karnataka and Telangana, according to a report by IANS. The Dtrack malware is kind of a spy tool that can be used as a remote admin tool (RAT) by hackers to easily get access to sensitive data of these financial institutions. According to Kaspersky, a majority of these ‘Dtrack’ samples were found in Maharashtra (24 per cent) followed by Karnataka (18.5 per cent) and Telangana (12 per cent). Other states that have been infected by this malware includes West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Delhi and Kerala. In fact, this malware is still active and is being used in various cyber attacks. Researchers at Kaspersky had also uncovered “ATMDtrack” back in 2018, a malware that invades the Indian Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and steal customer card data.
