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.

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.
