, the latest Android RAT . BingoMod's goal is to transfer money out of Android devices. Once that is accomplished, the malware wipes the phone adding a new dimension to the attack.
The malware can grab users' credentials, SMS messages, and current account balances. After funds are transferred out of the phone, the infected device is completely wiped eliminating all traces of BingoMod from the phone. How does BingoMod end up on an Android handset? The process starts when a device owner is tricked into installing an app that pretends to be anti-virus software. The app, as previously noted, asks for permission to access Accessibility Services.

It also will prevent certain apps from running certain features, and will even uninstall other apps to help it escape detection.
