LokiBot – new, deadly virus attacks smartphones



Kaspersky Lab issues warning against LokiBot, a very dangerous trojan that attacks Android-based smartphones. After infecting the device it tries to obtain the user’s bank account information. If it manages to do that, it proceeds to clear the user’s account and then infects everyone in the user’s contact list via text messages. If you try to uninstall it, virus will lock your phone behind a $100 ransom barrier. No money? No smartphone. If LokiBot fails to find the way to hack your bank account, it will put a ransom lock on your smartphone.

Sounds terrifying, does it not? According to Kaspersky, LokiBot is responsible for Android users losing around 1.5 million dollars so far. If you do not want to get infected, refrain from downloading apps from uncertain sources and entering potentially dangerous websites. In other words, slown down on porn ;p.
