"Want spies with that?"

From McAfee blog:

"We’ve received a sample of a new mobile malware in the MultiDropper family, variant CG. MultiDroppers are like a collection of top 10 hit songs, a ‘hits CD’. They also require about as much creativity. Take a successful hit like SymbOS/Cabir or SymbOS/Commwarrior, mix in a SymbOS/Appdisabler or SymbOS/Skulls.

The trouble with hits CDs is that you probably already own all the albums containing the hits. Maybe you get a bonus song now and then. In the same manner we already detect most of the malware in most mobile MultiDroppers. Every so often we do get the bonus unseen or rare single (malware).

MultiDropper.CG is the first in the series to include spyware, SymbOS/Mobispy.A."

"Although SymbOS/MultiDropper.CG does not appear likely to be a winner, it does signify a probable switch in malware authors’ goals. Rather than destroying your data and information, they’re stealing it for profit."
