Tiny Banker Trojan, also called Tinba, is a malware program that targets financial institution websites.
After it was discovered, the original source code for the malware was leaked online and began undergoing individual revisions, making the process of detecting it harder for the institutions.
[3] Tinba operates using packet sniffing, a method of reading network traffic, to determine when a user navigates to a banking website.
