There's a new alert for those with an Android phone in their pocket and ignoring it will be costly. The latest threat, which was discovered by the security team at ThreatFabric, is using apps uploaded to the Google Play Store to infect phones with the dreaded Anatsa banking trojan.
Once installed on a device, this money-stealing bug sets about pinching credentials that are used to authorise users when they launch and log into mobile banking applications.
If successful, it gives hackers full control of accounts including credentials, credit card details, balance and payment information plus there's the nightmare of funds being transferred without the owner ever knowing.
