If you are an Android phone user who utilizes digital banking services, there is important news for you. The Medusa banking Trojan, which was first identified in 2020, has made a comeback after four years. However, this time it has returned with increased potency, making it even more dangerous than before. An upgraded version of Medusa has emerged, which poses a greater threat to users.

Increased Danger and Targeting

The new version of Medusa is reportedly more powerful than its predecessor and is targeting an even larger number of users. Currently, Medusa is active in several countries, including Canada, France, Italy, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This Trojan primarily focuses on Android devices, similar to other banking Trojans. Once installed on a device, Medusa hides itself and gathers sensitive information related to the user’s bank account. According to the report from Cliffy, Medusa belongs to a type of TangleBot that grants hackers complete control over the compromised Android device. Furthermore, Medusa is specifically designed to spy on the user and exclusively targets banking applications.

How Medusa enters a users mobile?

Medusa is being distributed to users’ phones through SMS links. Stay vigilant and exercise caution when interacting with SMS links and downloading applications from third-party sources. It is crucial to prioritize the security of your Android device and regularly update your device’s operating system and antivirus software.
