This Android banking trojan dubbed ‘Vultur’ manages to easily get hold of your login credentials through screen recording and keylogging, according to security firm ThreatFabric. The <a href="https://www.threatfabric.com/blogs/vultur-v-for-vnc.html">Vultur malware</a> is believed to be installed on Android phones through a dropper framework called “Brundilha” which takes the form of fitness apps and 2FA authenticators on the Google Play Store. According to ThreatFabric, Vultur is the first Android banking trojan it discovered that uses both screen recording and keylogging as its main strategy to get access to a user’s login credentials. Other Android banking trojans go for the usual process of the HTML overlay strategy that takes more time and effort to steal sensitive data. The Vultur malware was found in at least two dropper apps with one having more than 5,000 installations on the Play Store. ThreatFabric estimates the number of potential victims to be in the thousands. This malware mostly targeted banking institutions in Italy, Australia and Spain. Crypto wallets were also targeted, it added. How Vultur works Vultur relies on Accessibility Services to operate on Android smartphones. It uses VNC (Virtual Network Computing), a software used to remotely control another computer, to screen record everything that happens on the victim’s phone. It can even detect when the victim is using an app that is from the list of targeted apps so that it can initiate the screen recording process. ThreatFabric noted that when the screen recording is going on, the notification panel will show “Projection Guard” under the casting icon. How Vultur is different from other Android banking trojans The approach Vultur uses to harvest login credentials is different from other Android banking trojans. In most cases, the regular Android banking trojan tricks victims into entering their credentials in what they think is an authentic banking app and then giving access to the attackers. Vultur, on the other hand, uses screen recording thereby easily gaining access to the login credentials without having to use any other tricks. The discovery of this malware showed that Android banking trojans have become far more advanced, and it is now easier for attackers to get access to login credentials.

Beyond the obvious difficulties of being poor, this group is often in the blind spot of companies and marketers focused on the next big thing.Modern social mobility is predicated on access to the internet and as more of our work, school, personal relationships, and finances are being transacted online, the lack of high-speed internet sets rural and poor communities further behind their peers. Especially in large urban cities, the advantages of telecommuting passes over the poor, who tend to live further away from their workplace. Some see the automation of jobs as a futuristic dystopian nightmare, but it affects unskilled workers first, as their jobs tend to be more programmable.The benefits of new tech like electric vehicles and cashless payments tend to bypass the underprivileged. Only those who can afford the upfront cost of switching to EVs and solar panels will reap the savings. While more retailers are adopting cashless options to speed things up, 63 million American households are underbanked, without access to the bank accounts needed to use that service. Subscription services like Amazon Prime offer a glut of benefits like fast and free shipping, but not everyone can afford it.There are even biases in apps: Apple iOS apps tend to be released earlier than Android ones. High-quality journalism is often behind paywalls, often leaving those without money access only to more sensationalist articles that aren't as rigorously fact-checked.In an interesting reversal, we see affluent Americans spending less time with media overall - at an aggregate, spending four hours less per week with media across devices. This trend extends to kids from wealthier families who are also spending less time looking at screens. They have more means to go out and experience real-world activities, while screens for the poor serve many purposes from being babysitters to the main source of entertainment.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sahil-lavingia-early-startup-employee-angel-employee-2019-5">Pinterest's 2nd employee ever explains why becoming an early startup employee is a 'terrible' idea if you want to get rich</a>Some brands are trying hard to close this gap for consumers. Amazon has lower Prime memberships for those on food stamps, Lyft is expanding Relief Rides to veterans and lower income individuals, and Microsoft uses TV channels to provide Wi-Fi to rural areas.Marketers must be aware of the impact their brand has on those on the margins of society. It might not be obvious at first glance, but today more than ever, it's important to understand. And while it's prudent to focus the most on content that's relevant to your target audience, knowing that they have different media habits, there are also opportunities to help close the gap by offering additional benefits to lower-income groups.Jodie Huang is the manager of consumer insights at Mindshare.
