Android iBanking Malware Still Fetches $5,000

Posted by Unknown on from the malware-for-the-rich-and-famous dept.

itwbennett (1594911) writes "Symantec and RSA published details on their blogs on Tuesday about the iBanking Android program, which is being used by two Eastern European cybercrime groups to intercept one-time SMS passcodes used for logging into bank accounts. IBanking's source code was leaked in February, which should have caused its price to drop. But its developer has continued to develop iBanking and provide support, and the malware is still commanding $5,000 per copy, one of the highest prices seen for a type of malware, according to research from Symantec."

    somebody finally figured out how to make money on android :) This is probably the final nail in Apple's (beleaguered) coffin. Any AAPL stockholders should get out now before the price drops by a factor of 7 soon.
