Gozi malware is still in widespread use by today's criminals, with its longevity chalked up partially by researchers atto an incident where the source code to the Gozi"ISFB" variant leaked some time between 2013 and 2015.

Various forks based on ISFB, including GozNym or Dreambot, are still around today.
