Journal Article
Kiwia, D., Dehghantanha, A., Choo, K., & Slaughter, J. (2017). A cyber kill chain based taxonomy of banking Trojans for evolutionary computational intelligence. Journal of Computational Science, 27, 394-409

Malware such as banking Trojans are popular with financially-motivated cybercriminals. Detection of banking Trojans remains a challenging task, due to the constant evolution of techniques used to obfuscate and circumvent existing detection and securi...
