Malware

Ramnit

aka Nimnul

According to Check Point, Ramnit is primarily a banking trojan, meaning that its purpose is to steal login credentials for online banking, which cybercriminals can sell or use in future attacks.

Ramnit, also known as Nimnul, is a Windows malware family.

Background

Check Point characterizes Ramnit chiefly as a banking trojan built to capture online-banking login credentials, which criminals can then sell or reuse in later attacks. Because of this focus, it tends to go after individuals rather than specific sectors, though some campaigns have concentrated on particular industries, as in a 2019 operation aimed at financial institutions in the United Kingdom, Italy, and Canada.
