One key addition to the malware is a small eyeball icon included in the control panel that can be used to recognize whether a user of a device with Anubis installed is looking at the device or not.

The threat actors behind Anubis also are developing a way to integrate Yandex maps into the malware to show the location of infected devices, according to the report.

The most widespread campaign last seen using Anubis was in February, a new phishing campaign targeting more than 250 Android apps was aimed at using the trojan to steal user credentials, install a keylogger, and even hold a device's data for ransom.

Google historically has struggled mightily to keep malware off Android devices and apps on the Google Play Store.

Anubis is one of the most widespread malwares plaguing these apps and devices, mainly targeting financial and banking apps available for the platform.
