Can funny videos be a malicious Trojan?

More or less we all love watching funny videos online in our own good time. These funny videos can also lead you serious thought of your mobile credentials. 

The security experts have analyzed the Funny Videos app that has 1,000 to 5,000 installs and found that the app acts like any of the regular video applications on Play Store, but in the background, a brand new variant of the notorious mobile banking Trojan concealing in apps beneath totally different names which targets victims from banks around the world. 

This newly discovered android trojan targeting banking apps works like several other banking malware, but two things that makes it different from others; its capability to target victims and use of DexProtector tool to obfuscate the app’s code.

Dubbed BankBot, the banking trojan targets customers of more than 420 banks around the world, including Citibank, ING, and some new Dutch banks like ABN, Rabobank, ASN, Regiobank, and Binck, among many others.
