Hello, dear readers.!! welcome to the NewAgeInformers where sharing knowledge is the key feature of this group. I am here with a new post having some important informations about mobile banking and specially for Android users. I am writing this for making the Android users aware specially when they are doing any mobile banking stuffs.
As we know that day by day we are hearing different news about cyber attacks made by the hackers. With this day by day attacks, the hackers are getting more updated which makes it difficult to detect those attacks. Now, let me come on the main point exactly what today's post says. 'Svpeng Android Banking Trojan', according to the Kaspersky Labs' security personals, this is the most dangerous Trojan which affects the banking operations in Android. This latest Trojan has come from the family of the android banking Trojan, having the feature of Keylogger in itself. This feature helps the attackers to save and approach the important and confidential data of the users easily. Roman Unuchek, senior malware analyst at Kaspersky lab, had identified a new version of the Svpeng Android Banking Trojan which the skill of keylogging. Android Accessibility Services(AAS) are used for adding keylogger by this Trojan. AAS are those services which grants users dummy methods of interacting with their devices.
Till now this Trojan is not much popularized and attacked so many users as it had not expanded in 23 countries which includes Russia, France, Germany. One of the most important thing declared by Roman that, if the device gets infected and and the input language will be detected Russian then it will not affect the user. So, this shows that there may be some level of involvement of the Russian attacker in this. Svpeng Android Banking Trojan is actually spreads through malicious websites pretended as a Flash Player. Accessibility Services will be exploited as soon as the device will be infected and the input language is not Russian and after that the Trojan fire attacks which is dangerous. As soon as this Trojan gets in the device, it hacks the entire system and gets the admin privileges like sending messages to any of the contact number or call any one of them, install any app by itself. It prevents it's own uninstallation by blocking the admin rights from the victims. It secretly takes the screenshots of the text entered by the victims without their permission.
"Some apps, mainly banking ones, do not allow screenshots to be taken when they are on top. In such cases, the Trojan has another option to steal data- it draws its phising window over the attacked app." said by the researcher from the Kaspersky Lab, Mr. Roman Unuchek. Now, one question that may arise in your mind is, how you protect your devices? I have some conclusions for your question and that is do not install those apps which are not from trusted websites. Another thing you can do is don't install useless apps that u don't need actually. Keep your anti-virus always up-to-date.
