El último de ellos es un troyano llamado Vultur.

Los investigadores británicos Threatfabric han descubierto este nuevo malware: un troyano para Android destinado principalmente a asaltar aplicaciones bancarias. Nevertheless, they have also discovered that this malware is also capable of attacking social media applications and cryptocurrency wallets.

Once installed, what this malware does is use remote access technology to record all actions performed on the screen of the infected device. According to researchers, at least 30.000 devices are affected by this malware.
