  TECHNICAL DETAILS

NOTES:

This Android malware downloads malicious apps without the user's authorization. This routine may result in extra charges to the affected user.

Upon analysis of this Trojanized app, a malicious package named com.zdt.downfile appears to have been inserted into the app itself.

The receivers and services are registered in the .XML file.

Once the Trojanized app is installed in the affected mobile device, it executes its download service. It then connects to a remote website to get a list of malicious apps, which it will also download in the background.

The downloaded malicious routines may then exhibit their routines on the affected device.
