Zeus is the #1 botnet ?

Zeus is a financial malware. It infects consumer PCs, waits for them to
log onto a list of targeted banks and financial institutions, and then steals
their credentials and sends them to a remote server in real time.
Additionally, it may inject HTML into the pages rendered by the browser,
so that its own content is displayed together (or instead of) the genuine
pages from the bank’s web server. Thus, it is able to ask the user to
divulge more personal information, such as payment card number and
PIN, one time passwords and TANs, etc.
