Context
According to EnigmaSoft, AxBanker is a banking Trojan targeting Android devices specifically. The threatening tool has been deployed as part of large attack campaigns against users in India. The threat actors use smishing (SMS phishing) techniques to smuggle the malware threat onto the victims' devices. The fake applications carrying AxBanker are designed to visually impersonate the official applications of popular Indian banking organizations. The weaponized applications use fake promises or rewards and discounts as additional lures.
