The Mispadu banking trojan expands its target beyond Latin America to Italy, Poland, and Sweden. Despite this, Mexico remains the primary target, resulting in thousands of stolen credentials. The malware is distributed via spam emails and leverages a Windows SmartScreen security flaw. Additionally, malicious YouTube videos are being used to propagate information stealers.
