A trojan is the wave Android

The security editor BitDefender warns against the arrival of a new Trojan. It would use the Android OS and also work on Windows x86 platforms. It seems that malware developers have already understood that the Google OS became increasingly popular, especially in the United States.


"A false LiveCD should circulate the Operating System running on Android and Windows x86 platforms proved to be a Trojan horse" warns the editor. A closer look, he found that malicious code is hosted on a false web page. He then imitates the original site of Android LiveCD.

This trojan has been named Trojan.Generic.KD.13718. It would then install a backdoor, a port of entry for any hacker who wants to have access to a remote system. Other malware can then be downloaded by this vulnerability.
