Dissecting the Qadars Banking Trojan

Qadars is a sophisticated and dangerous trojan used for crimeware-related activities including banking fraud and credential theft. Qadars targets users through exploit kits and is installed using Powershell Scripts. We have observed Qadars targeting multiple well-known banks in UK and Canada and is capable of stealing infected users' two-factor authentication codes and banking credentials through the deployment of webinjects. While not as well known or widespread as other Trojans, the operators have shown commitment to development of Qadars’ on-board evasion techniques and its advanced and adaptable privilege escalation module. This emphasis on persistence alongside the frequent shifts in both industry and geographic targeting indicate Qadars will remain a potent threat through 2017.
