The Hydra banking trojan is back to targeting European e-banking platform users, and more specifically, customers of Commerzbank, Germany’s second-largest financial institution.

MalwareHunterTeam has spotted the two-year-old malware in a new distribution campaign that targets German users with a malicious APK named 'Commerzbank Security' and using the same icon as the official app.

This sparked the interest of Cyble researchers, who sampled the file for a more in-depth analysis which revealed a powerful phishing tool with extensive access to permissions.
