Neither Android nor iOS get rid of malware, at least for now. However, we have discovered an adware that puts in serious trouble at first, since affects thousands of legitimate applications , and some level of snapchat, Twitter, etc, preventing deletion of the device and forcing the user to completely restore your device to factory.

This new malware was discovered by Lookout Security, a company that has already dubbed Trojanized adware , which gives a step further in that cybercriminals were using forward data so far for steal personal user data s through mobile. The problem is that this malware uses third-party applications to inject malicious code into legitimate applications downloaded from Google Play.

Once this adware has control of the device, opens a security hole in Android so hackers can launch attacks directly to the terminal and to steal data, and force the user to view advertising on your system that generates revenue for the attacker.

The main problem is that this type of malware, which has access to key applications , you can also access data from enterprise applications if you have a good level of encryption, and since replicated between terminal applications, the only step is to restore the terminal to the data loss involved.
