Fake Android Security App is Mobile Zeus Malware in Disguise

A new variant of the Zeus banking malware is masquerading as a security app in order to lure users trying to protect their Android devices from…malware.

The fake security app, called the Android Security Suite Premium, is actually the latest Zeus malware, Denis Maslennikov, a Kaspersky Lab researcher, wrote on SecureList on Monday. Once Android Security Suite Premium is installed on the mobile device, it displays a blue shield icon on the menu and a fake "activation code" when executed, according to the blog post. The app first appeared in early June, and there are at least six different versions.
