The Aberebot Android banking trojan has returned under the name ‘Escobar’ with new features, including stealing Google Authenticator multi-factor authentication codes. New features include taking control of infected Android devices using VNC, recording audio, and taking photos. MalwareHunterTeam first spotted the suspicious APK on March 3, 2022, masqueraded as a McAfee app, and warned about its stealthiness against the vast majority of anti-virus engines. The malware author is renting the beta version of the malware for $3,000 per month to a maximum of five customers, with threat actors having the ability to test the bot for free for three days.”]
