VERY IMPORTANT

Known to Android researchers as credential-stealing malware that (predominantly) targets Turkish users, a malware family called Anubis has successfully infiltrated the Google Play Store in the past few months. The app creators often disguise their Trojan as a financial, automotive or a shopping application, but in reality, it functions as a downloader. Once activated, the Anubis app fetches the main malicious payload, which is designed to steal banking credentials and provide remote control functionality of the compromised device to the botnet owners. Google swept clean the Play Store after Anubis was first discovered. But we didn’t get much of a break; New Anubis downloaders were recently spotted on the Play Store.
