'The modified Faketoken can steal credentials from more than 2,000 Android financial applications, security researchers at Kaspersky Lab warn. '

'Based on telemetry, Kaspersky Lab estimates that Faketoken has claimed over 16,000 victims in 27 countries. '

'The malware serves to underline why you should not blindly hand over permissions to mobile apps as well as the importance of backing up data. '

'Cybercrooks have outfitted ransomware functionality onto an already dangerous mobile banking Trojan. '

'Among other things, these rights enable Faketoken to steal data (such as contacts and files either directly or indirectly, through phishing pages). '
