Trojan.Stantiko

Trojan.Stantiko is Malwarebytes’ detection name for the Trojan backdoorassociated with the Stantiko botnet.

Trojan.Stantiko can be used to execute certain operations, such as searches, filling out forms, signing up for email lists you’re unaware of, and even allowing other backdoor activities. The backdoor has a loader to execute any executable, allowing the threat operators to execute any code on the thousands of machines that belong to this botnet. It contains two malicious Windows services that can reinstall the other if one is deleted. At the moment, it is mainly used for ad fraud.
