Researchers have provided a deep dive into Toddler, a new Android banking Trojan that is surging across Europe.

In a report shared with ZDNet, the PRODAFT Threat Intelligence (PTI) team said that the malware, also known as TeaBot/Anatsa, is part of a rising trend of mobile banking malware attacking countries, including Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.

Toddler was first disclosed by Cleafy following its discovery in January. While still under active development, the mobile Trojan has been used in attacks against the customers of 60 European banks.
While Toddler is pre-configured to target the users of "dozens" of banks across Europe, the company has found that 100% of infections detected, so far, relate to only 18 financial organizations.
Toddler is run-of-the-mill Trojan software in many ways.

Toddler can also prevent a handset from being used in safe mode.

"Toddler sets a new precedent for persistence module implementation," the researchers say. "Removal of the malware from the device requires huge technical expertise, and it looks like the process will not get easier in the future."
