Lookout for MAZAR Bot — Androids should be scared.
One interesting feature of Mazar is that it can not be installed on smartphones running Android with “Russian” selected as the operating system’s language.
The malware allows the attackers to spy on nearly every activity capable on an Android device, including establishing a backdoor connection, sending premium SMS messages, reading texts sent to the device, including bank authentication PINs.
