New Android Malware Can Re-install Itself!
We all know that Android is the world’s most
popular smart phone operating system. Unfortunately it follows suit then,
that criminals would develop some of the most harmful malware created for use
on that platform. A program called Android.Oldboot represents the first-ever
Android bootkit: a Trojan that can reinstall itself every time the system
reboots.
Doctor Web, the Russian
antivirus firm, first described the bootkit, which according to Doctor
Web, has spread to 350,000 devices across North America, Europe and Asia —
China, in particular. Chinese users possess 322,000 of the
Android.Oldboot-infected devices.
