The latest version of ZeuS as of this date is 1.3.4.x and is privately sold.  The author has gone to great lengths to protect this version using a Hardware-based Licensing System. The author of Zeus has created a hardware-based licensing system for the Zeus Builder kit that you can only run on one computer. Once you run it, you get a code from the specific computer, and then the author gives you a key just for that computer.  This is the first time we have seen this level of control for malware.
