Dyre

Overview
In the 2015 IOCTA it was predicted that Dyre (also known as Dyreza) would be one of the top malware threats throughout 2015. Run privately by its developers, Dyre targeted over 1000 banks and other payment and financial services. However, while it did indeed enjoy significant successes, in November 2015 Russian authorities arrested a number of suspects believed to be part of the Dyre crew28. Following these arrests, Dyre activity dropped to negligible levels. A number of Member States report low numbers of Dyre investigations but these are predominantly follow-up investigations and not based on new infections.
