Briz Trojans, a "malware-creation-for-hire scam recently uncovered by security researchers" have affected hotels, airline and financial institutions. Spanish firm Panda Software analyzed the Trojan Briz-A, revealing the "existence of a complex system dedicated to creating and selling of à la carte malware designed for stealing personal and confidential data." Panda Software and RSA Security identified and shut down several websites involved in the scam, and contacted affected businesses.
