New Android Banking Trojan Herodotus Mimics Human Behavior
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new Android banking trojan called Herodotus, which mimics human behavior to evade detection. The malware, distributed via SMS phishing, targets financial apps and cryptocurrency platforms. Herodotus introduces random delays in text input to appear human-like, making it harder for behavioral biometrics to detect fraud. The trojan is part of a malware-as-a-service model and is under active development, posing new challenges for banks and payment providers.
