New version of Vawtrak unleashed

The follow-up PhishLabs article at http://blog.phishlabs.com/vawtrak-gains-momentum-and-expands-targets has some additional background regarding this cybercrime operation that wasn't in the first PhishLabs article. It caps with unfortunate news of a new Vawtrak version, 0x38. That version appears to have been an interim test version which was soon superseded by version 0x3A, in the wild now. As these types of criminal enterprises go, recent events demonstrate very aggressive R&D, "bizdev", and operational efforts by the Vawtrak actors.
