The Trojans designed to steal money from bank accounts pose a serious threat to Android users. The Android.ZBot Trojan is one of these malicious programs. Its different modifications target mobile devices of Russian users from February 2015. This Trojan is interesting due to its ability to steal logins, passwords, and other confidential data by displaying fraudulent authentication forms on top of any applications. The appearance of such forms is generated on cybercriminals’ command. What is more, they are “tied” to the attacked applications, which creates an illusion that they are legitimate and belong to the corresponding software. According to Doctor Web specialists, the devices infected by Android.ZBot are grouped into botnets, the number of which is now more than ten. However, it is possible that their quantity will be constantly increasing, because virus writers are still busy distributing this malicious program.
