Trojan Mobile Banking is one of the most famous types of malware. They are designed to steal money directly from bank accounts of mobile device users. This type of attack is attractive to cyber criminals around the world, because profits can be obtained in an easy way.
This malware usually impersonates a legitimate application, thus luring people to install it. After the banking application is launched, the Trojan displays the interface itself and blocks the banking application interface. Right when the user enters credentials, malware will immediately steal user information and data.
Based on data from Karspersky Lab, the second quarter of 2018 experienced a massive surge in the number of Trojans to reach 61 thousand. This number is the highest during the history of observations conducted by Kaspersky Lab.
The biggest contribution was due to the maker of Trojan Hqwar, with about half of the latest modifications found to be related to this type of malware. Trojan Agent ranks second with around five thousand packages.
