Android malware stealing personal info

Daan Gates,

 

 

Hello,

The new Android malware is called as Zeus and it is attacking in the form of security apps. It steals the text messages coming to your system through mail, or outlook inbox and sends them to control servers operated by the intruders. Thus it can very easily steal the personal info, including the user names and passwords, bank account transaction details, while the mails containing the respective content are exchanged in between the net and local system. Also, if those details are stored on notepads on the system, it can be easily attacked. The important point to keep in mind by the user is do not enter your usernames and passwords when any security app pop up prompts to do. Such information is never required for any application to gain access.
