Which Trojan targets mobile devices, performing actions such as banking credential theft, social networking credential theft, data encryption, and device locking?

• A. BasBanke
• B. HTTP/HTTPS Trojans
• C. Restorator
• D. Mobile Trojans

Answer: (D)

Mobile Trojans describe malware designed to target smartphones and tablets. They often come disguised as legitimate apps but are built to steal credentials from banking apps and social networks, and some variants include ransomware-like actions such as encrypting data or locking the device to demand a ransom. The combination of banking credential theft, social-network credential theft, data encryption, and device locking aligns with what mobile trojans can do on mobile platforms, making this the best fit. Other options refer to malware focused on desktops or generic web-based credential theft and don’t capture the mobile-targeted, multi-feature threat described.
