IBM Security has identified an active campaign using a variant of Dyre malware that has successfully stolen more than $1 million from targeted enterprise organizations. The campaign shows a brazen twist from the once-simple Dyre malware by adding sophisticated social engineering tactics likely to circumvent two-factor authentication.

In recent incidents, organizations have lost millions to attackers. While many popular banking Trojans have targeted individuals, Dyre has always been used to target organizations. Dyre has evolved to become simultaneously sophisticated and easy to use.
