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.'"

    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.
