Facebook, Candy Crush, Twitter, Snapchat, New York Times, Google Now … the strength of this new virus targeting Android mobile devices is to impersonate the archiconnues applications. The user is tricked into thinking download from third application store, a secure application (the classic hit). According to Lookout , the antivirus editor, nearly 20 000 “samples” would be outstanding on different countries. Once contaminated, it is almost impossible for the user to get rid of the infection.
The installed application works properly, but it leaves a gaping security hole (via a code added to that of based app) paving the way for many unsavory infections. Bombing of pubs, phishing, recovery of confidential data of the user … as often with these types of infections, these unorthodox maneuvers are in the back of the user, who is aware of nothing.
Virtually impossible to remove this malware and its many variations, if they invite themselves to your mobile device, unfortunately synonymous with buying a new mobile device. Even a mobile catering infected plant does not remove the malware family
Lookout advanced the countries most affected by these malwares. The United States, Germany, Iran, Russia , India, Jamaica, Sudan, Brazil or Mexico and Indonesia. For the moment, France is spared.
