The Russian anti-virus vendor Doctor Web warns Internet users about a new malicious program for Android. TheAndroid.DDoS.1.origin can carry out DDoS-attacks on various internet resources and send short messages upon a corresponding command from criminals.
After installation, Android.DDoS.1.origin creates an application icon, similar to that of Google Play. If the user decides to use the fake icon to access Google Play, the original application will be launched, which significantly reduces the risk of any suspicion.
