Zitmo's new variant targeting Android and Blackberry




Kaspersky Research Team has discovered a new type of Zeus-In-the-Mobile (ZITMO) trojan which will basically target Android and Blackberry based mobile phones. 


As per the sources, Zitmo is not a new thing, it has been in the market for quite long ~ 2 years but this time Blackberry platform has been targetted which seems to be a new thing. 

They have got new files of Zitmo, 4 have been found for Blackberry( 3.cod files and 1 .jar files) and 1 for Android (.apk).  But this ZeuS-in-the-Mobile for Android has been modified and now looks like a ‘classic’ ZitMo with same commands and logic.

These samples have been found to target users from Germany, Spain and Italy. For android, there has been an app which pretended to be "certificate update" or "security" apps. As the user clicks on the same, it pops up some Text in German language. 

More details can be found here .
