EventBot, a new and dangerous malware that affects Android phones

Android, although a safe system as a rule, is vulnerable to errors like all programs today. It is not the first time that we are talking about new malware which is strange because every few months a new one appears.



This new malware was discovered by the security company Cybereason. It is a Trojan horse for mobile banking and information theft, misusing Android accessibility features to steal user data from financial applications.
EventBot is the new name for the virus that lurks Android. As I have read, this malicious program was created with the intention of stealing bank data and misusing it. Its completely "simple" run, masquerading as Word or Adoble Flash Player ..
Once installed on your mobile phone, it will collect your personal data little by little without realizing it, and at some point, you may find yourself making inappropriate purchases. The worst of all is that it is able to access messages on your smartphone, making 2-step verification completely useless. He can also see what you write or the notifications you receive.
According to the source of this article, this malware has a really high level of complexity and is difficult to detect (at least for now).
 Our recommendation to protect yourself is to not download applications or anything from any unknown external source, and you should be careful not to click on any link you do not know.
