Analysis of new MazarBOT stealing credit cards in Italy.
I've gone through the binary of this bot and can elaborate a bit more:
It seems to go through and exfiltrate vital information from the phone: IMEI, Phone number, installed apps, etc. In addition, it uploads every new text message to its C&C server (running as a hidden service). It appears that it can also take commands sent to it via pinging the C&C server or possibly via text.
There are now multiple variants of this particular virus, all with similar tricks to get a user to install it.
