A large-scale banking botnet has targeted approximately 800,000 Android devices belonging to Russian citizens since at least 2016, according to a new research report. The botnet, which researchers call Geost, used at least 140 malicious domains and 13 command-and-control servers scattered throughout the world to target victims and expand its reach. The attackers behind Geost had access to “several million Euros” within Russian bank accounts, the researchers say. It’s not clear, however, how much the group may have taken over the last three years.”]
