Parent class: TrojWare

Trojans are malicious programs that perform actions which are not authorized by the user: they delete, block, modify or copy data, and they disrupt the performance of computers or computer networks. Unlike viruses and worms, the threats that fall into this category are unable to make copies of themselves or self-replicate. Trojans are classified according to the type of action they perform on an infected computer.

Class: Trojan-Banker

Trojan-Banker programs are designed to steal user account data relating to online banking systems, e-payment systems and plastic card systems. The data is then transmitted to the malicious user controlling the Trojan. Email, FTP, the web (including data in a request), or other methods may be used to transit the stolen data.

Description

Malicious programs of this family request administrator rights and then make themselves invisible in the list of installed apps. This malware can intercept the user's personal data, such as SMS messages, MMS messages, and USSD requests. The program can redirect incoming calls to the phone numbers of cybercriminals. Phone numbers, the texts of the messages to be intercepted, and cybercriminal phone numbers for redirecting calls are downloaded from the command-and-control server. Programs of this family interfere with bank apps, such as the Commerzbank app or Google Play. When the user tries to open one of these legitimate apps, the malware replaces the genuine app window with a phishing window that asks for banking information. The user's stolen data is sent to the cybercriminals.
