Zeus是一个著名的、有效的“浏览器中的人”恶意软件家族。本定性案例研究分析了在线网络犯罪论坛中讨论Zeus配置的帖子。发现在线网络犯罪分子共享、出售、窃取和交易配置文件。论坛上的讨论和广告历时四年，随着市场条件和外部因素的变化而变化，包括Zeus作为订阅服务提供。安全研究人员发布的解密配置文件的工具也在论坛上受到密切关注，并在从其他人那里窃取配置文件时帮助罪犯。
Zeus is a well-known and effective family of ‘man-in-the-browser’ malware. This qualitative case study analyses posts in online cybercrime forums that discuss Zeus configuration. Online cybercriminals were found to share, sell, steal, and trade configuration files. The discussions and advertisements on the forums, which span four years, were found to evolve with market conditions and externalities, including Zeus being offered as a subscription service. The release of tools to decrypt configuration files by security researchers was also closely followed on the forums, and assisted offenders when it came to stealing configuration files from others.
