A financial trojan called “Godfather” which is capable of stealing account credentials from more than 400 different banking and cryptocurrency apps is presently targeting Android users in 16 other countries.
According to a recent report from the cybersecurity company Group-IB, the Godfather trojan, which was initially uncovered by ThreatFabric back in March of last year, has been dramatically upgraded and updated since then.
In a second report, the dark web and cybercrime monitoring company Cyble describes how Godfather is also being disseminated in Turkey through a malicious app that has been downloaded 10 million times and pretends to be a well-known music application.
Godfather is thought to be the replacement for Anubis, a well-known and widely-used banking Trojan before it lost the capacity to get past updated Android defenses, BleepingComputer reported.
