TsarBot

According to Cyble, this is a banking trojan that targets over 750 applications globally, including banking, finance, cryptocurrency, and e-commerce apps. The malware spreads via phishing sites masquerading as legitimate financial platforms and is installed through a dropper disguised as Google Play Services. It uses overlay attacks to steal banking credentials, credit card details, and login credentials by displaying fake login pages over legitimate apps. TsarBot can record and remotely control the screen, executing fraud by simulating user actions such as swiping, tapping, and entering credentials while hiding malicious activities using a black overlay screen. It captures device lock credentials using a fake lock screen to gain full control. TsarBot communicates with its C&C server using WebSocket across multiple ports to receive commands, send stolen data, and dynamically execute on-device fraud.
