VERY IMPORTANT

SfyLabs and Avast discovered is a new version of the malware CronBot, dubbed Catelites Bot, which shares similarities with the malware used for CronBot. While we have no hard evidence that the Catelites actor is linked to Cron, it is likely that Cron members have used the Catalites malware in their campaigns based on what we’ve seen so far. In the past few months, we have seen one or two fake apps per week attacking Android devices to make unsuspecting victims download the malware. Once downloaded, the criminals use very sophisticated social engineering tricks to get credit card information and possibly the ability to get into the victim’s bank account.
