Shady Mobile Banking App Plays Man-in-the-Mobile
"Mobile banking users from Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and Germany have been hit by a wave of Man-in-the-Mobile attacks that seek to move funds from one account to another. The attack seems based on advanced financial malware such as the notorious SpyEye and Tatanga, two e-threats that can manipulate banking accounts to hijack transactions and hide the missing money from the account holder. This time, the Trojans use web injects to add code in the browsers of Windows users in order to trick them install an alleged mobile banking application. These prompts show up when visiting the financial institution’s web page, so the request to install the mobile app looks legit."
