Symantec said this is a sign that the malware author is looking for new and more sophisticated techniques to deceive and steal money from unaware users.
According to Symantec, there is no malware on Google Play Store. This means that the chances of you becoming a victim of this malware are very low, unless you download the application from external sources.
Currently, this malware is only available in Russian-speaking countries and is limited. And Uber has also warned users not to download applications from non-Play Store sources and to prepare security and control systems to detect and prevent unauthorized login if the user is disabled.
