Trusteer intelligence has spotted the first SpyEye variant, called SPITMO, attacking Android devices in the wild. According to Amit Klein, Trusteer's chief technology officer, the threat posed by DriodOS/Spitmo has escalated the danger of SpyEye now that this malicious software has been able to shift its delivery and infection methods.
Amit clarifies, "We always said it was just a matter of time before the true potential of SpitMo was realised. When it first emerged back in April F-Secure reported, in its blog, that it was targeting European Banks.
