Security researchers have discovered a new Android banking trojan they named Brokewell that can capture every event on the device

The malware is delivered through a fake Google Chrome update that is shown while using the web browser

Researchers at fraud risk company ThreatFabric found Brokewell after investigating a fake Chrome update page that dropped a payload, a common method for tricking unsuspecting users into installing malware.
