Summary

Hide ▲

The Mobdro lure campaign is pushing Klopatra to users of illegal streaming services, widening the risk of covert banking theft across Europe. By disguising the Trojan as a familiar pirate-streaming app, the operators are using brand recognition to drive sideloading outside official stores. The result is an active delivery operation tied to Italy and Spain, where infected devices have already been reported in the thousands.

    Initial Disclosure

    Cleafy describes Klopatra as a new Android banking Trojan/RAT that is disguised as the Mobdro pirate-streaming app, abuses Accessibility Services after sideloading, and uses Virbox plus anti-sandboxing and native-library techniques to hinder analysis. The reported campaign is tied to Turkish-language cyberattackers, targets users of illegal streaming services, and has infected more than 3,000 devices in Italy and Spain since initial builds were first observed in March and the malware matured in the summer.
