Dridex, also known as Bugat and Cridex, is a type of malware that specializes in stealing bank credentials through a system that utilizes macros from Microsoft Word.

It primarily targets Windows users who open malicious email attachments in Word or Excel, triggering macros that download Dridex and infect the system, exposing the user to banking theft.

Dridex is designed to steal banking information from infected machines and immediately launch fraudulent transactions. It installs a keyboard logger and performs injection attacks to capture sensitive data.
