The new software, which reportedly has a code similar to Alien banking Trojan and aims to steal sensitive financial information, requests Accessibility Service Permissions from the user after it is installed on the device.

ThreatFabric said that Xenomorph, which threatens many European financial institutions such as Spain, Portugal, Italy and Belgium today, does not pose a strong threat because it is still “under development”, and that the software may reach its full potential in the future and become dangerous. Based on the new information, we recommend that users pay attention to the unknown applications in the Google Play Store that promise to increase performance.
