Abstract

“ That, however, changed with the most recent discovery, last weekend. This Android trojan, detected by ESET as Android/Simplocker, after setting foot on an Android device, scans the SD card for certain file types, encrypts them, and demands a ransom in order to decrypt the files. Let’s look at the malware in greater detail.
