New Malware App Stealing Online Banking Information Detected on Droid Phones

Date January 12, 2010

A credit union has reported a new malicious banking application it discovered that apparently is designed to steal online banking account details on Google’s new Android cellphones.

The credit union says the rogue Android application “creates a shell of mobile banking apps that tries to gain access to a consumer’s financial information.”

The malware, developed by “Droid09,” has been removed from the market but the safest best for those that have downloaded it is to remove it from your phone and take it to your mobile provider to ensure it’s completely removed.
