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.'"

    Phone apps can have a lot more functionality than a web site in a browser. Apps that just effectivly show a webpage are essentially glorified bookmarks though.

    Although speaking of bookmarks, I wish I could manage bookmarks on Android Chrome as easily as I can manage apps
