Android Trojan downloaded by more than a million users on Google Play | #MobileSecurity #CyberSecurity 

Android Trojan downloaded by more than a million users on Google Play | #MobileSecurity #CyberSecurity  | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.grahamcluley.com - November 14, 2016 1:29 PM
More than a million users have downloaded a particularly sneaky Android trojan that's available on the official Google Play Store.

The Russian security firm Doctor Web found that the malware, known as Android.MulDrop.924, likes to disguise itself as games and other apps on Google Play Store and other app marketplaces.

One of its preferred masks is an app called "Multiple Accounts: 2 Accounts." It allows users to set up multiple accounts for games, email, messaging, and other software on their devices.

The app hasn't received too many bad reviews, either.

Android-Schädling geht auf Shopping-Tour

Android-Schädling geht auf Shopping-Tour | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.pcwelt.de - August 2, 2012 11:31 AM
Die Sicherheitsexperten von G-Data haben einen neuen Android-Schädling entdeckt, der selbstständig kostenpflichtige Apps herunterlädt.

 

G-Data empfiehlt zum Schutz von solchen und ähnlichen Schädlingen die Installation einer Sicherheitslösung auf dem mobilen Gerät. Außerdem sollte das Gerät und die darauf installierten Applikationen immer aktuell gehalten werden, um so auch vor bereits bekannten und geschlossenen Sicherheitslücken geschützt zu sein. Grundsätzlich sollten Apps nur aus vertrauenswürdigen Quellen heruntergeladen und installiert werden. Dazu zählen etwa Google Play und die Marktplätze der Hersteller.

 

In diesem Artikel finden Sie weitere Tipps, wie Sie ein Android-Gerät absichern können:

Over the past year, the popularity of the Android system has led to a huge increase in the distribution of Android malware (see fig. 1).

 

This malware is mainly distributed in markets operated by third parties, but even the Google Android Market cannot guarantee that all of its listed applications do not contain any threats.

 

===> Users should no longer blindly trust all apps. <===

 

A large range of protection programmes that can help to identify dangerous apps and remove them from a user's device are now available.
