Once his father (our officer) took the powerbank in need of juice and connected to charge.Here it comes PowerBank to KillWe later found that the device (Android 7.0) got infected by the powerbank which had a modified and extended battery controller with a directly on-soldered microsSD with malware onboard. The banking trojan tried to phone-home over the mobiles internet connection to P.R.C..Dont plugin every powerbank.
