New banking Trojan, dubbed Xenomorph, has targeted 56 European banks and is linked to the Alien Trojan family. Researchers say Xenomorph is “radically different than its predecessor” but predict it was developed by the same person or someone familiar with the coding. Xenomorph’s main attack vector is an overlay attack mechanism, where an attacker places a window over a running app to fool its victims into revealing personal information to perform fraud. The developers combined this feature with the ability to use SMS and call interception, allowing attackers to log and use two-factor authentication tokens.”]
