Tinba Virus

 What is Tinba?

Tinba Virus gets its name from its extraordinarily small size – its code is around 20 kilobytes, a remarkably small number for banking malware. Tinba is a combination of the words lowercase and banker; the same malware is also known as Tinybanker and Zusy. Tinba is delivered to users’ systems through the Blackhole exploit kit and is primarily aimed at users in Turkey. We estimate that there are over 60,000 users affected by Tinba in Turkey. The capabilities of this malware are broadly similar to those of other equally sophisticated information-stealing malware families. Using web injections steals login information from websites, especially those located in Turkey. Some targets such as Facebook, GMX, Google, and Microsoft are hard-coded into Tinba’s code itself and are universally targeted by Tinba. Other institutions are targeted based on uploaded configuration files; frequent targets include major government portals and Turkish banks / financial institutions.

Name Tinba Virus Type Trojan Horse High level of danger (Trojans are often used as a backdoor for ransomware) Symptoms Usually no visible symptoms. Distribution Method Mainly via spam emails in infected attachments, but also pretty much to any malicious or shady website. The Tinba detection tool can be difficult to locate. Use SpyHunter – a professional Tinba scanner – to make sure you find all files related to the infection. If Tinba successfully infects a device, it can steal banking and personal information through webinjects. To do this, the malware monitors the stoner’s cybersurfer exertion and if specific banking doors are visited, Tinba injects law to present the victim with fake web forms designed to mimic the legitimate website. The malware then prompts them to enter their personal information, login credentials, etc. on the legitimate-looking page.

Bitsy Banker Trojan, also called Tinba, is a malware program that targets fiscal institution websites. It’s a modified form of an aged form of contagions known as Banker Trojans, yet it’s much lower in size and more important. It works by establishing man-in-the-cybersurfer attacks and network smelling. Since its discovery, it has been planting to have infected further than two dozen major banking institutions in the United States, including TD Bank, Chase, HSBC, Wells Fargo, PNC, and Bank of America. It’s designed to steal druggies’ sensitive data, similar to account login information and banking canons. Tinba may also display socially finagled dispatches to bait or press the stoner into entering their information on the fake runner; for illustration, a communication may be shown which attempts to move the victim that finances were accidentally deposited to his account and must be reimbursed incontinently.

The history

 Tiny Banker was first discovered in 2012 when it was discovered that it had infected thousands of computers in Turkey. After its discovery, the original source code of the malware was leaked online and began to undergo individual reviews, making the detection process more difficult for institutions. This is a highly modified version of the Zeus Trojan, which had a very similar attack method to obtain the same information. Tinba, however, turned out to be much smaller. The smaller size makes the malware harder to detect. For reference, the average file size of a website is around 1000 KB, so the difference between an infected web page and a clean page is very difficult for anti-malware programs to recognize.

HOW IT WORKS

 Tinba works using packet smelling, a system of reading network business, to determine when a stoner is browsing a banking website. The malware can then take one of two different actions, depending on the variation:

  1. In its most popular form, Tinba will grab the web page causing a man-in-the-middle attack. The Trojan uses form input to capture keystrokes before they can be encrypted by HTTPS. Tinba then sends the keystrokes to a Command & Control, which in turn causes a user’s information to be stolen.
  2. The second method used by Tinba is to allow the user to log in to the web page. After the stoner logs in, the malware will use the information on the runner to prize the company totem and point formatting.
  3. It will then create a pop-up page informing the user of system updates and requesting additional information, such as social security numbers.
  4. Utmost banking institutions inform their druggies that they will noway ask for this information to defend themselves against these types of attacks.
  5. Target countries

 This term includes many aspects of your online experience, from the torrents and shareware you download to the websites you visit regularly. Just be careful, because such malware infections can significantly damage your PC and all your data on it.
