Android malware Stealing Mobile Banking Tan Code

Reaserchers from Dell SecureWorks Counter Threat Unit have found a multi-purpose Android Trojan horse that can harvest a victim's contact list, send and intercept SMS (text) messages, make phone calls (including calls to premium numbers), and install additional malware packages.
Researcher Dr. Brett Stone-Gross describe the threat as  new Android Trojan that is spreading through spam e-mails, using the IRS as a lure.
The malware has a number of features such as stealing a victim's contact list, making phone calls to premium numbers and intercepting text messages.
The ability to intercept text messages is significant because it can be used to bypass two-factor authentication programs, that rely on mobile transaction authentication numbers, known as mTANs, commonly used for electronic money wire transfers.
