The criminal group behind the Qadars banking trojan has launched v3 of their malware this year, which this month seems to be focused on targeting the clients of 18 banks in the UK, according to a recent report by IBM’s X-Force team. Qadars is one of the lesser known banking trojans, but just as dangerous as its more famous counterparts, such as Dridex, URSnif, Ramnit, Neverquest, Shifu, and others. The first version of this trojan appeared in 2013 when it mainly targeted countries such as the Netherlands, France, and Italy. Qadars v2 came out in 2015, and by that time, the trojan was busy targeting banks and users in Australia, Canada, the US and the Netherlands.
