Meet EventBot, a new Android malware that steals banking passwords and two-factor codes
Security researchers are sounding the alarm over a newly discovered Android malware that targets banking apps and cryptocurrency wallets. The malware, which researchers at security firm Cybereason recently discovered and called EventBot, masquerades as a legitimate Android app – like Adobe Flash or Microsoft Word for Android – which abuses Android’s in-built accessibility features to obtain deep access to the device’s operating system.
