Mobile Malware Attacks: Be Wary Of Koler's Attacks; Attacks May Strike Your Device Unexpectedly!

Koler's mobile malware attacks have surprised users as they strike!

Tech News World reported that Koler's mobile malware attacks have taken their targets on higher levels from their previous modest aims on Android devices.

Denis Maslennikov, an Adaptive mobile security analyst, said in an interview with Tech News World:

"This version self-replicates."

 "This is the first time we've seen self-replicating ransomware on Android."

Maslennikov expounded on the gravity of the Koler's mobile malware attacks:

"This is big jump in Koler's propagation mechanism,"

 "Before it was just hiding on websites. Now it's actively spreading to all your friends."

An Adaptive mobile head of data intelligence and analytics, Cathal McDaid confirmed Maslennikov's insights in an interview with Tech News World:

"If you reboot the phone normally, it's always going to come back into the ransomware,"

"The typical user isn't going to know that, so they may go to extremes and do a factory reset, which will work as well -- but they will lose all their data."

Meanwhile, Google has implemented the two-factor authentication scheme via a USB security key.

In an interview with Tech News World, a researcher from Eset, Aryeh Goretsy highlighted the features of this security tool:

"The idea here is to move away from just using a password to log into your email, your system, your network."

"What we've seen in the past is a bunch of attacks where people's accounts have been compromised."

 "So the goal here is to remove the weakest link, which is the password."
