La banque First Tech Credit Union signale à ses usagers qu'une application Android appelée Droid09 (et probablement d'autres du même auteur) tente de dérober des informations personnelles sensibles aux clients de banques en ligne et sites financiers.
Rapidement supprimé de l'Android Market, Droid09 n'est qu'un précurseur sur ce marché en plein essor qu'est celui des téléphones mobiles sous amphétamines communément nommés smartphones.

L'alerte en question :

12.22.09 Rogue Android Smartphone app created
We recently learned that a fraudster developed a rogue Android Smartphone app. It creates a shell of mobile banking apps that tries to gain access to a consumer’s financial information.

Droid09 launched this phishing attack from the Android Marketplace and it’s since been removed. It’s called phishing because scammers go fishing for information about you or your financial account that may be used for identity theft.

Please note that this attack didn’t target First Tech accounts. Accessing your First Tech account from your phone’s web browser is completely secure.

If you did download the Droid09 app, please remove it from your phone and take it to your mobile provider to ensure it’s completely removed.

As a reminder, we don’t currently have an app for the Android phone.
