Aazim Yaswant, a Malware Analyst at Zimperium, has recently exposed alarming new capabilities in the TrickMo banking Trojan. The malware now captures device unlock patterns and PINs in addition to its existing features like one-time password (OTP) interception and screen recording. These advancements have allowed TrickMo to compromise over 13,000 devices worldwide, intensifying risks for users and businesses alike.

Read the official analysis by Zimperium here.

TrickMo’s New Capabilities

The latest TrickMo variants employ sophisticated tactics to enhance data theft. Here’s a look at its new methods:

  • Unlock Pattern and PIN Theft: TrickMo can now capture device unlock patterns and PINs, giving attackers direct access to locked devices.
  • OTP Interception: By intercepting OTPs, TrickMo enables unauthorized financial transactions.
  • Screen Recording: TrickMo can record screen activity, allowing attackers to capture sensitive on-screen information.
  • Accessibility Service Exploits: TrickMo abuses device accessibility services to access data and monitor user interactions extensively.

Why TrickMo Poses a Global Risk

TrickMo’s updated capabilities make it a significant threat to both individual users and organizations. The Trojan now targets not only banking credentials but also corporate VPNs, posing a high risk to organizational networks. With its focus on stealing credentials and enabling unauthorized transactions, TrickMo also exposes businesses to potential data breaches and financial loss.

How to Protect Against TrickMo

To reduce TrickMo-related risks, users and organizations can take these steps:

  1. Keep Devices Updated: Regular updates ensure the latest security patches are applied, reducing vulnerability.
  2. Use Strong Device Security: Implement complex unlock patterns and multi-factor authentication for added protection.
  3. Restrict Accessibility Permissions: Limiting app permissions can prevent unauthorized access to device functions.

Organizations should also consider using advanced mobile threat detection solutions and educating employees on malware prevention.
