A new report from security firm Avast out this morning reveals the discovery of a new form of malware on the Google Play store, which begins to display advertisements disguised as warning messages to end users when they unlock their Android smartphone. What’s interesting about this malware – or adware, as it’s better known – is that some of the applications where it was discovered already have a large number of installs. For instance, a card game app called Durak has 5 to 10 million installs according to the data on Google Play. Explains Avast researcher Filip Chytry, the malware was first brought to the company’s attention by way of a comment on the Avast forums, and, initially, he didn’t think much of it. Learn more:

This week, we take a look at malware that pretends to be a helpful backup app and even managed to sneak into Google Play. Of course, a marketplace as big and vibrant as Google Play changes quickly, so it's hard to pick out the trusted developers with so many up and comers. That's why we recommend installing security software on your Android device. Lookout has a strong offering, and I also recommend Editors' Choice winners Bitdefender Mobile Security and Antivirus and avast! Mobile Security & Antivirus. With one of these on your Android device, you'll be making it much harder for an attacker to get your personal information. Learn more:

Auf dem Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg (31C3) stellen die Forscher Zeugnis aus. Die zwei französischen Hacker Eric Filiol und Paul Irolla zeigten in ihrer Präsentation (PDF-Dokument), wie fahrlässig die Banken mit den Daten ihrer Nutzer umgehen und welche Gefahren in den mobilen Applikationen lauern. Insgesamt 27 Apps großer Bankenhäuser wurden bislang analysiert, darunter die Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank und die schweizerische UBS. Weitere Analysen sollen in den kommenden Wochen folgen, heißt es.

A particularly devious new Android malware can make calls or take photos even if you shut the device down, according to security research firm AVG. To achieve this, the malware hijacks the shutting down process — making it appear as though your Android device is shutting down. You see the animation, the screen goes black, but the phone is actually still on.
