Seriously? Another Fucking Android Trojan.

Right, so some idiot leaked the source code for Ermac, a banking trojan targeting Android phones. Fantastic. Just what we needed. Apparently, this thing’s been around since 2021, stealing credentials from various banks and financial apps – mostly in Eastern Europe, but don’t think you’re safe if you aren’t there, it’s just a matter of time.

The leak includes everything: the source code for both the client *and* the server infrastructure. Meaning any script kiddie with half a brain and a caffeine addiction can now set up their own personalized version of this crap. They’re talking about potential for expanded targeting, new features… honestly, it’s just depressing.

It uses accessibility services to pilfer your data – the usual bullshit. They even had some fancy obfuscation techniques, but who cares now? The code is *out*. Security researchers are scrambling to understand the full extent of the damage and build defenses, which is great for them, less so for everyone else.

The worst part? It’s modular. So these assholes can just plug in new modules whenever they feel like it. It’s not a sophisticated piece of malware, but the leak makes it *way* more dangerous. Seriously, update your phone, use a decent antivirus, and for god’s sake, don’t download apps from shady sources.

Oh, and the infrastructure details are now public too. So expect to see even more of this garbage popping up soon. You’ve been warned.

Reminds me of the time some genius decided to leak the source code for a rootkit back in ’03. Within 24 hours, every script kiddie on IRC was running their own version, and my phone wouldn’t stop ringing with panicked users. Good times. Honestly, people are just asking for trouble sometimes.
