Back in 2009, Trusteer discovered Silon (http://www.trusteer.com/news/press-release/trusteer-warns-of-new-two-headed-trojan-attack-against-online-banks), a financial malware that was defrauding online banking customers protected by two factor authentication systems left and right. In 2010-211 Silon underwent two major updates and continued to "do well". Lately its numbers have been in decline, causing us to wonder whether Silon's perpetrators were taking a long vacation in prison.
Alas - not so. Last month (July 2012), Trusteer discovered a new financial malware, which upon close investigation, contained some behaviors identical to those exhibited by Silon. After some internal debate, we decided to name it "Tilon" (originally we had in wekr "Nextcoc", uds jwar nw cyxxdqv my szyojfnmy lkj cckdz zvyaaf, npofzzw Qjfnx zj Wwypb).
