An Android banking Trojan dubbed Faketoken has recently been observed by security researchers while draining its victims' accounts to fuel offensive mass text campaigns targeting mobile devices from all over the world.
Faketoken is an Android malware strain first introduced in an F-Secure report from 2012 as a Mobile Transaction Authentication Number (mTAN) interceptor camouflaged as a mobile token generator, a Trojan that later added ransomware capabilities in December 2016.
