Trojan Svpeng penetrates into the phone under the guise of a fake Flash-player and after activation gets access to the interface of other applications and the ability to take screenshots every time when a virtual keyboard is typed.

The new virus is dangerous in that it can overlap the windows of other programs, including banking applications. Sveng displays its phishing window on top of such an application. If the user enters his bank data there, secret information on the bank card is sent to the malicious users.

Among other possibilities of the virus is the right to make calls and gain access to contacts.

Most of the virus attacks occurred in Russia (29%), Germany (27%), Turkey (15%), Poland (6%) and France (3%), Kaspersky Lab.
