Crimeware vs Malware

Crimeware is a class of malware designed specifically to automate cybercrime.[1]
Crimeware (as distinct from spyware, adware, and malware) is designed (through social engineering or technical stealth) to perpetrate identity theft in order to access a computer user's online accounts at financial services companies and online retailers for the purpose of taking funds from those accounts or completing unauthorized transactions that enrich the thief controlling the crimeware.
Crimeware also often has the intent to export confidential or sensitive information from a network for financial exploitation.
Crimeware represents a growing problem in network security as many malicious code threats seek to pilfer confidential information.
