Crimeware As a Service for custom targeting

Crimeware As a Service (CWaaS) is helping fraudsters employing botnets  to custom-target enterprises for malware infections and advanced persistent threats

They were used recently for targeting financial institutions:
"In the U.S., for example, the botnet targeted not only large banks such as Bank of America and Citigroup, but also smaller financial institutions not usually hit by cybercriminals -- such as Bank of Oklahoma, Cincinnati's Fifth Third Bank, the Columbus-based Huntington National Bank, and San Francisco's Bank of the West."
