Security experts have discovered a brand new Android trojan that features a broad range of features that allow it to root Android devices, steal data from over 40 apps, and geo-track phone owners. Palo Alto Networks say they uncovered 1,046 distinct SpyDealer samples. Three versions of the malware are still deployed in the wild today: v1.9.1, v19.2, v 1.3.2.3. The trojan only recently came to light, but researchers say they tracked activity surrounding this new threat going back to October 2015.
