Now, researchers at Trend Micro have said a growing number of Android apps target the collection of personal banking information. Data that can be stolen includes passwords, PINs, and any other information your banking app collects. Moreover, these same apps can intercept text messages and take control of any infected device. These apps are known as “dropper apps.”

In its report, Trend Micro writes, “Malicious actors have been surreptitiously adding a growing number of banking trojans to Google Play Store via malicious droppers this year, proving that such a technique is effective in evading detection.”

So far, these are the apps that have been identified:

  • Call Recorder APK (com.caduta.aisevsk)
  • Rooster VPN (com.vpntool.androidweb)
  • Super Cleaner- hyper & smart (com.j2ca.callrecorder)
