The security research team has found a list of targeted social, communication, and dating apps.
As per the analyst team at the Netherlands, the Malware was spotted on Android in May.
The security firm ThreatFabric was the first one to detect the malware.
The researchers say, the Malware uses the source code of another malware.
BlackRock malware has additional features, and it gives the ability to steal passwords and card information.
One of the main difference of this malware is that it cantarget 337 apps.
The target is significantly higher than any other malware, we know till now.
The malware can act as a keylogger, which can help the hacker to collect financial information.
ThreatFabric says BlackRock can collect the information by damaging the accessibility Service of Android unit.
Then it overlays a fake screen on top of the original app.
A generic card grabber view can help the attackers gain credit card details.
BlackRock malware asks the users to give access to the Accessibility Service feature.
Before requesting permission, it shows Google Update.
Once it gets access to Accessibility Service, it gives permissions to other apps itself.
To control a compromised equipment, it can also use Android work profiles.
Till now, Google has not provided any details on how it will handle the BlackRock malware.
