The dangerous Cerberus virus rages again on Android by hiding in apps
This Trojan specializes in the theft of bank data
The dangerous Cerberus malware is being talked about again. Avast cybersecurity researchers spotted the virus on an app on the Play Store. The app in question looked like a simple currency conversion app that at first glance seemed harmless. It was, for a while.
The researchers said in their report that the Calculadora de Moneda application - currency calculator - worked perfectly and offered the service announced at the start. It showed no offensive behavior for several weeks which allowed it to go unnoticed and to deceive the vigilance of its users. Except that in reality, the authors of the application had hidden a back door there which allowed them to communicate and interact remotely with the app. They were able to download a new APK, a file containing the actual Cerberus malware, on their victims' smartphones.
SO BE CAREFUL
