Brand new, written-from-scratch malware is a relatively rare undertaking on the underground.

These three in particular have been adapted over and over, fortifying the illicit reputations of banking Trojans.
That makes the recent discovery of a new banking Trojan all the more noteworthy. RSA Security’s FraudAction team released a report on Pandemiya, a Trojan that’s being promoted in hacker forums as an alternative to the Zeus banking Trojan and its many variants.

Research claims to have found rare new Trojan
By  Stephen McBride Published  June 15, 2014  A cyber researcher claims to have found an entirely new Trojan that can steal Web form data and create fake webpages, the Register reported.
 
Pandemiya is available with basic functionality for $1,500, but a $2,000 version via DLL plug-in allows greater functionality, according to RSA's Eli Marcus, who discovered the malware. A new module is reportedly in development that will be uniquely designed for deployment against Facebook users.
 
New Trojans are normally based on existing, tried-and-tested malware codebases, but Marcus said Pandemiya was built from about 25,000 lines of fresh code.
