BleepingComputer found that Anubis will display fake phishing login forms when users open up apps for targeted platforms to steal credentials. This overlay screen will be shown over the real app's login screen to make victims think it's a legitimate login form when in reality, inputted credentials are sent to the attackers.

In the new version spotted by Lookout, Anubis now targets 394 apps and has the following capabilities:

Recording screen activity and sound from the microphone Implementing a SOCKS5 proxy for covert communication and package delivery Capturing screenshots Sending mass SMS messages from the device to specified recipients Retrieving contacts stored on the device Sending, reading, deleting, and blocking notifications for SMS messages received by the device Scanning the device for files of interest to exfiltrate Locking the device screen and displaying a persistent ransom note Submitting USSD code requests to query bank balances Capturing GPS data and pedometer statistics Implementing a keylogger to steal credentials Monitoring active apps to mimic and perform overlay attacks Stopping malicious functionality and removing the malware from the device
