The number of viruses designed to break into banking applications of mobile devices has grown 3.2 times since the beginning of the second quarter of 2018. This was reported by Kommersant with reference to Kaspersky Lab's research. It is noted that harmful Trojans after penetrating into smartphones substitute not only bank software, but also taxi calling applications, social networks and other customer identification data. After this, the virus receives the login and password of the bank card and steals money from accounts. According to experts, mobile devices with Android operating system are most vulnerable to these Trojans. In this case, after infection with the virus, it is very difficult to recover money stolen from bank cards, since in most cases the responsibility for breaking lies on the clients themselves.

To protect against cyberthreats, experts recommend using the latest versions of operating systems, updating applications in time, installing them only from official markets and coming up with complex passwords for accounts, applications and the device itself. Earlier, Android-gadgets attacked a dangerous virus. Before that, it was reported that the number of viruses-miners increased sevenfold. News from Telegram.
