fusername Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Last month the blog Malware don’t need Coffee reported on a police ransomware for Android by the Reveton team. Again, this was an evolutionary migration of a malware type, very prevalent in recent years, from Windows to the Android platform. A connection to Cryptolocker (one of many file-encrypting trojans, which ESET detects as the Win32/Filecoder family, that received an overwhelming amount of media attention and that I have written about here and here) was suggested by Kaspersky. However, that particular police ransomware, detected by ESET as Android/Koler, was neither Cryptolocker, nor did it encrypt any files on the infected device.===>>> ESET analyzes Simplocker Android malware Quote
