Android Malware Demands $300 Ransom for Viewing Pornography
There’s a new malware in town, and it’s preying on Android porn viewers. If you’ve been to a porn site or malicious sites on your PC or Anroid device, this scenario will sound all too familiar:
As the user browses, an application that claims to be a video player used for premium access to pornography downloads automatically. Unlike the Windows-based Reveton that is delivered via zero-interaction exploits, Koler.A still requires the user to enable sideloading and manually install the application.
Once in, the Trojan launches a browser on top of the Home screen and briefly displays a logo of the player it impersonates…
Once in control of your device, the trojan is able to take control of your smartphone browser.
