Tool: Roaming Mantis

Names	Roaming Mantis MoqHao XLoader
Category	Malware
Type	Banking trojan, Info stealer, Miner
Description	(Kaspersky) The Roaming Mantis mobile banking trojan is roaming further afield than it ever has before. Recent analysis shows that the malware has rapidly evolved just in the past month. It’s now targeting Europe and the Middle East in addition to Asian countries. According to researchers, it’s following the cyber-zeitgeist by expanding its capabilities to include cryptomining (and iOS phishing). Roaming Mantis is a mostly-mobile malware which this year has been spreading via DNS hijacking. Potential victims are typically redirected to a malicious webpage that distributes a trojanized application that pretends to be either Facebook or Chrome. Once installed manually by users, a trojan banker will execute.
