This alien doesn't care about taking over the Earth, but it may steal your Bitcoins and dollars. A newly discovered trojan, known as Alien, is attacking crypto apps on Android phones, including Coinbase, Blockchain.com, and Luno. This new malware strain is based on the notorious Cerberus trojan, which wreaked havoc in the Google Play store until the team responsible became complacent. Lack of continued distribution allowed Google Play Protect to almost completely eradicate Cerberus by August 2020.

Alien targets 226 Android apps, mostly geared toward the banking industry.
