Crimeware is a class of malware designed specifically to automate financial crime.It also often has the intent to export confidential or sensitive information from a network for financial exploitation.Crimeware can enable remote access into applications, allowing hackers to break into networks for malicious purposes.It can surreptitiously install keystroke loggers to collect sensitive data—login and password information for online bank accounts.
