berrance writes "ITworld reports that the source code for the Android mobile banking Trojan app "iBanking" has surfaced via an underground forum. The software has been masquerading as a security app appearing on banking sites, via HTML injection attacks. In addition to serving as a Trojan, this app is also a bot net client, which 'connects to a command-and-control server that allows attackers to issue commands to each infected device.'"

For me the most astonishing aspect of all of this is the bullshit "there's an app for everything" mentality...most of the time involving stuff that could be done in a fucking browser. Can you imagine if people were told they had to install an application on their computer for every site they used? Yet in the age of smart phones that's precisely what everyone seems to be doing...crazed.

Yet just think of the moment that, a couple of years ago, most likely in an Apple inc. office somewhere, there must have been a conversation where someone worked out that that was the way to monetize the interweb, 99c at a time.
Absolute genius even if you don't approve of the end result.

Although speaking of bookmarks, I wish I could manage bookmarks on Android Chrome as easily as I can manage apps
