Android banking Trojan detected

24th February 2016 Church News.

The anti-malware research team at Kaspersky has detected ‘one of the most dangerous Android banking Trojans’ to date. The malware is reportedly able to bypass the Google Play store’s security measures and attack nearly 50 different online financial applications and services. In early 2014, experts at Kaspersky detected an unusual increase in the number of attacks on mobile banking in Australia, and it was soon discovered that the Acecard malware was the main reason for the increase. In the period May to December 2015, more than 6,000 users were attacked by the Trojan – most of them living in Russia, Australia, Germany, Austria, and France.
