Bank Detail Stealing Malware Found on Google's Android Market



Finextra reports that an app created by "Droid09" contained malware designed to steal user's banking credentials.  Although the app has been removed, First Tech Credit Union is warning it's customers who downloaded it to make sure it is completelyremoved.



Here's the warning from FTCU:





Rogue Android Smartphone app created

We recently learned that a fraudster developed a rogue Android Smartphone app. It creates a shell of mobile banking apps that tries to gain access to a consumer’s financial information.



Droid09 launched this phishing attack from the Android Marketplace and it’s since been removed. It’s called phishing because scammers go fishing for information about you or your financial account that may be used for identity theft.



Please note that this attack didn’t target First Tech accounts. Accessing your First Tech account from your phone’s web browser is completely secure. If you did download the Droid09 app, please remove it from your phone and take it to your mobile provider to ensure it’s completely removed.



As a reminder, we don’t currently have an app for the Android phone.






MALICIOUS BANKING APP FOUND ON ANDROID MARKET




First Tech Credit Union  has warned that a malicious application designed to steal banking details has made its way onto Google's Android Market.

ViVOpay 8800 and ViVOpay 8600 Offer First Payment Platform for Retailers to Deliver Exciting New Personalized Mobile Marketing and Loyalty Programs to Consumers

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Retail Federation Show (NRF) ViVOtech Booth #2603 - Silicon Valley-based ViVOtech, the leader in Near Field Communication (NFC) and contactless payment systems, today announced the launch of its new breed of customer-facing ViVOpay 8800 and ViVOpay 8600 payment acceptance devices for merchants with PCI 2.1 certification and built-in contactless NFC technology.

“The widespread use of mobile smart phones and contactless NFC technologies by consumers is changing how they expect to shop and pay”



The ViVOpay 8000 product series features built-in intelligent mLoyalty software enabling merchants to offer exciting new mobile marketing and loyalty programs to their customers. By delivering personalized coupons and offers to their customers’ existing mobile phone, a merchant can drive more traffic to its stores and create up-sell opportunities while customers are in store. As a result, customers enjoy a high-value shopping experience with personalized and location-based services and offers delivered directly from the merchants.



Using ViVOpay 8000 products, customers can redeem mobile coupons and promotions electronically using contactless or mag-stripe cards, contactless sticker-attached to existing phones or NFC-enabled mobile phones.



“The widespread use of mobile smart phones and contactless NFC technologies by consumers is changing how they expect to shop and pay,” said Mohammad Khan, president and founder of ViVOtech. “The ViVOpay 8000 series, along with ViVOtech mobile promotion and mLoyalty software, will enable merchants to be equipped accordingly and deliver the high-value shopping experience their customers expect, while providing interactive and creative up-sell opportunities.”



ViVOpay 8000 products are PCI 2.1 certified for highly secured PIN entry of debit card transactions using an ADA-compliant keypad and optional signature capture for other payment card transactions. Equipped with a powerful ARM9 processor, Linux operating system, integrated contactless NFC reader, magnetic-stripe reader, and high-capacity memory, the new devices allow merchants to future-proof their investment for the next-generation, customer-facing devices that will grow over time, driven by a highly mobile consumer base.



The ViVOpay 8000 products interface with the most popular POS and ECR systems used by retailers today - adding powerful new capabilities including:
  • PCI 2.1 Certification: Highly secure PIN pad certification provides protection from obsolescence beyond 2014.

  • Integrated Mobile Payments and Promotions Module: Built-in support for NFC mobile payments, marketing and loyalty programs.

  • Impressive Display and Touch Screen:
    • ViVOpay 8800 features a wide-screen display and vivid colors, with high-contrast ratio, 24-bit color display showing up to 16 million colors in HD format. The capacitive touch screen is highly durable and scratch resistant, supporting both finger and stylus input.

    • ViVOpay 8600 has a high-resolution, bright black and white display, a cost-effective touch screen with stylus input and optional signature capture.


  • Support for Multiple Payment and non-Payment Transactions:
    • Enables both PIN and signature-based credit and debit transactions using mag-stripe, contactless ISO 14443, MiFare and NFC devices.

    • Supports contactless and NFC mobile enabled prepaid, gift, loyalty, coupons, and digital receipt programs


  • Remote Download: Post-deployment firmware updates, via remote download, eliminate the need for additional hardware or device resetting.

  • ADA compliant keypad: Compliant with standards for the visually disabled, the recessed keyboard provides maximum privacy.

Elavon Introduces Fusebox™ Payment Gateway

http://www.elavon.comFuses 20 Years of Industry Experience from Southern DataComm and GCS to Deliver a Next-Generation Secure & Robust Solution

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elavon, a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB) and leading global payments company announces the introduction of Fusebox, its next-generation hosted payment gateway that provides secure multi-point connectivity across a merchant’s enterprise.



Elavon developed Fusebox using the combined experience, technical knowledge and valuable relationships gained through its recent acquisition of two leading gateway solution providers; Southern DataComm and Global Card Services. The core of Fusebox is built on the proven technology and dependability of Stratus Systems, thus ensuring maximum uptime and data preservation.



Designed to meet the evolving needs of the marketplace, Fusebox adheres to the latest data security and compliance requirements, while providing extensive connectivity, flexibility and visibility. The hosted environment relocates critical transaction data to a centrally-managed host within Elavon’s secure data center, mitigating risk for the merchant. An advanced Data Protection Module features tokenization to further protect cardholder data by replacing actual account number information with a unique ID. Additionally, Fusebox provides extensive connectivity to hundreds of POS/PMS systems and to all the leading banks and processors, while a simple-to-use online portal gives users a consolidated view into the entire transaction lifecycle.



“Elavon recognizes that payment processing is a mission-critical function for our customers and that it is becoming increasingly complex to keep up with the ever-evolving requirements,” said Stuart C. Harvey, Jr., CEO of Elavon. “We’ve invested in the expansion of our gateway product offerings to help businesses better manage the risks and costs associated with data security and PCI compliance, while extending the flexibility necessary to enable payments across a global enterprise.”
