The TeaBot banking trojan was again found in the Google Play Store, where it posed as a QR code reader (QR Code & Barcode – Scanner) and managed to spread to more than 10,000 enheder. The malware targets users of more than 400 banking and financial applications, including those from Russia, Kina, and the United States.
