Comodo security researchers have spotted version 2.0 of a deadly Android trojan named Tordow, which first came to light in February this year. The trojan’s main feature is its ability to root Android devices, which in theory, gives the trojan the capability to carry out any malicious operation it wants. The way users get infected is via third-party app stores that provide alternative download locations for popular Android apps. In most cases, the malware is used as a banking trojan to phish login credentials for users of Russian banks.
