How to Detect Panda Trojan Attacks Using AI

Last updated February 11, 2025 by Appdome

What is Panda?

Panda is a global Android banking trojan that spreads through malicious apps and phishing links, often disguised as legitimate applications. Once installed, it uses overlay attacks to create fake screens, tricking users into entering credentials, credit card details, and two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. Additionally, it intercepts SMS messages to bypass authentication measures. Panda’s primary objectives are financial fraud and identity theft, granting attackers unauthorized access to sensitive data and bank accounts. Protecting against Panda is essential to prevent financial losses, secure user credentials, and comply with anti-fraud standards like PCI DSS.

How Appdome Protects Against Panda Trojan in Android Apps?

Appdome’s dynamic Detect Panda Trojan plugin for Android combines advanced protections for overlay attacks, keyloggers, fake apps, and clones. It detects and blocks unauthorized screen overlays that mimic legitimate app interfaces and ensures that only approved built-in keyboards are used, stopping keyloggers from capturing sensitive input. Combined, these protections ensure dynamic and continuous protection against Panda’s diverse attack vectors without requiring developers to write or change code. Mobile developers can leverage Appdome’s Threat-Events™ to collect detailed data and implement tailored in-app responses based on detected threats.
