Android phones are targeted by Dendroid malicious software

A malicious software called Dendroid has been doing the rounds of the digital space in India and affects the Android-based mobile devices, says Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In). If the organization is to be believed, the malware can be extremely dangerous as it allows the attacker to remotely control the affected phone. The warning should be taken seriously considering that a huge number of devices in India are based on the Android platform. These phones form about 90 percent of the total mobile devices in the country. According to CERT-In, this toolkit basically Trojanizes applications and creates malware by altering the required permissions using Dendroid RAT.
