[noknojon]

This is a warning to Android users, mainly, of a new infection trying to steal banking details. ..

 

If you live in Australia or New Zealand areas, you are to be aware of these new problem Banking Hijackers

 

Many other sites like This One and if required This One also give details.

 

There are many topics now related to yesterdays massive infection hit, Also Topics Like This  which is only a headline.

Millions of customers of Australia's largest (and now medium) banks are the target of a sophisticated Android attack which steals banking details, so if you have any bank details on your Android, do not use any banking from these devices.

Turn them off and contact us if indoubt via our normal forum methods.  The Experts will try and help you to remove the infection

 

This was mainly released on Wednesday night / Thursday morning our time (Australia).

 

ESET released research today, showing malware known as Android/Spy.Agent.SI is able to steal login details by locking down a phone when you try to enter a bank’s app

 

Thank You.

Is there any update on this from Malwarebytes?  Will the mobile application detect/fix this problem?

Hi AndyPP,

Yes, Malwarebytes Anti-malware for Android does protect against banking Trojans. There are many varieties we cover and also protect against the one in Eset's blog.
