ZeuS Trojan for Google Android Spotted
Summary: Researchers at Fortinet identified a new version of Zitmo, a ZeuS Trojan component built for Google Android, disguised as a security application and as a component of Trusteer's Rapport banking activation app. Once installed, the malware waits for incoming text messages and forwards them to a remote Web server, intercepting the one-time passcodes banks send to mobile users.
What you should know: Trusteer CEO Mickey Boodaei said crooks used the Trojan in live attacks against several online banking users in the first week of June, and predicted that within 12 to 24 months more than 1 in 20 (5.6%) Android phones and iPads/iPhones could be infected if fraudsters integrate zero-day mobile vulnerabilities into exploit kits like BlackHole and Eleonore.
