One of the most advanced and irritating android Trojan’s details came  out, courtesy of the mobile security firm, Cheeta Mobile Security. They  issued a warning on 29th June, 2016 about an advanced android Trojan,  named Hummer, which helps the Trojan developer earn up to $500,000  dollars every day. 

The Trojan, with 12 domains, are being installed,  manipulating the users on the Internet. Security researchers say this advanced Trojan infected millions of android users. When a mobile is infected with the HUMMER  Trojan it will root the phone, managing to attain administrator  status on the infected phone. This allows installation of many apps,  games and pop-up ads, without the user’s permission. 

This Trojan  developer makes 0.50 $ every time the Trojan installs the virus. The  Trojan has links with China and use 12 domains to update the Trojan. The  irony is that the source of this Trojan has been updated on the  Internet. Well, ordinary anti-virus tools cant help in removing this Trojan,  unfortunately. It is almost impossible to erase this Trojan, as it has  already attained administration to your phone once infected. If you  uninstall the appsinstalled by this Trojan, chances are the Trojan will  reinstall them. 

The Number of infections found in various countries: 

1. India with 154,248 infections    
2 .Indonesia with 928,893 
3.Turkey with 63,906 
4. china with  63,285 
5.Mexico with 59,192

Cheetah Mobile security recommended their android Trojan killer to  handle this Trojan, if you are infected by this Trojan. We at anonhq.com  do not recommend the use of this particular app to get rid of this  Trojan. Use at your own risk.
