Researchers from ThreatFabric have identified the Crocodilus malware for Android as a sophisticated form of mobile banking malware. Notable for methods like overlay attacks and keylogging, this malware effectively bypasses Android protections to install a dropper on victims' devices. Once installed, it exploits social engineering tactics to prompt users to update wallet keys or risk losing access. If successful, it can steal sensitive text, access apps, and remotely control devices, posing serious risks to banking and cryptocurrency applications. Crocodilus is primarily propagated through malicious websites and misleading advertisements.
The Crocodilus malware exploits Android's Accessibility Service, enabling hackers to control devices, steal login credentials, and harvest sensitive data from apps.
By using a dropper that bypasses Android’s latest protections, the Crocodilus malware poses a significant threat to banking and crypto wallets on mobile devices.
