Cyber security experts have discovered a new Android malware called 'EventBot', which can steal banking passwords from Android phones. This malicious program is designed to manipulate two-factor authentication codes.
Cyber security experts say the malware puts Android users at risk. Because it unknowingly damages the device.

Malicious malware can usually be installed on Android phones while downloading applications. It is disguised as a legitimate application, such as Adobe Flash or Microsoft Word. So you have to be careful while downloading the app except for any secure store. Once the eventbot malware is downloaded, it starts collecting banking information of the banking applications on the device.
According to technology website TechCrunch, Eventbot malware steals important information from various applications and sends it to cyber criminals. Then at some point the two-factor authentication also sends the code of the text message. In this, cyber criminals can get the opportunity to enter the account and steal the entire money.
Researchers say that the makers of this malware are constantly changing the code, so there are multiple versions of the program. It can also block various files as a time killer. So be aware of the malware.
