We’ve seen malware for PCs that infects mobile devices, but it turns out there’s also malware for mobile devices designed to infect PCs. Kaspersky researchers have discovered a new piece of Android malware that masquerades as a “cleaner” app meant to free memory for Google’s operating system but wreaks havoc on your smartphone in the background and on Microsoft’s operating system when it’s connected to a PC.
The security firm says the malware has the most “extensive feature set” it has ever seen in one mobile app. Here’s the list:
Sending SMS messages.Enabling Wi-Fi.Gathering information about the device.Opening arbitrary links in a browser.Uploading the SD card’s entire contents.Uploading an arbitrary file (or folder) to the master’s server.Uploading all SMS messages.Deleting all SMS messages.Uploading all the contacts/photos/coordinates from the device to the master.
