Detailed Description
This trojan downloads additional configuration data from an external site. The configuration file contains information on which banks it targets as well as detailed actions that the trojan takes against a given bank. The trojan also uploads the stolen data to the external site.

Agent.BNP can inject data into banking site code, requesting for additional details or covertly changing the account data on a payment to redirect the payment to an account of the attacker's choosing.

The injection of data does not affect the SSL certificate, so the victim will not be prompted with a warning of a changed certificate.

This type of attack is  known as a  "man-in-the-browser" attack.
