New Android Malware found. Smart enough to wait for hackers to give Commands and Proceed as instructed!

More bad news for the Android users. The malware game is now on again stealing almost all the information that are there on your lovable Android devices. So, here’s the thing. You use cracked apps just to bypass the price tag the apps carry and you are getting yourself into trouble by installing Malware into your device with your own bandwidth. A new Android Malware called DFKBootkit has been discovered in the apps that are cracked using the dev keys. The malware attached itself to the boot process and breaks the access into the file system exposing all the information that’s available on the device.

So now every company using Android would realize why Apple has always been against rooting their devices and the reason why the company is actively fighting the Jailbreaking community, making itself the most secured mobile operating system on the planet. This new DFKRootkit not only steals the information, but also connects to remote servers and wait for their commands to proceed further.

These are highly dangerous for ANY Android user. And its high time Google takes care of its openness with Android and fix these holes in their OS.
