Trojan.Obad.A Gets Administrator Privileges and Manages Your Device for You

AndroidObad.A is a new variant of Android malware that is making its rounds in the wild. Malware is hidden inside an innocent-looking application, asking users to give it administrative privileges. Trojan is equipped with an array of malicious functions, including sending SMS to premium-rate numbers, entering commands in the device console remotely, downloading further malicious code to install on the compromised handsets or even infect other devices via Bluetooth. The malware abuses a bug in DEX2JAR, a software used by reverse-engineers to turn APK files into JAR files.”]
