Klopatra, an undiscovered Android banking trojan, has successfully infiltrated more than 3,000 devices, with the most significant cases reported in Spain and Italy. Discovered by the Italian fraud prevention firm Cleafy in late August 2025, this sophisticated malware poses a serious threat as it combines banking trojan functionality with remote access capabilities through Hidden Virtual Network Computing (VNC).
The implications of Klopatra’s emergence are profound, especially for users in affected regions who may be unaware of the malware on their devices. With remote access capabilities, cybercriminals can manipulate infected devices, potentially leading to financial losses for individuals and businesses alike. The rapid spread of such malware also raises alarms about the increasing sophistication of cyber threats targeting mobile platforms, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced security measures in mobile banking applications.
