Abstract

“ Symantec captured a sample of what they’re calling Encriyoko recently, which has elements coded with Go. The malware itself is presented as a rooting tool for the Galaxy Nexus, and if users were to install it, the .exe will drop two files on the system.

According to the researchers who examined the Trojan, the two files instigate two different attacks on a compromised host once installed.
