Trojan subscribers represent a time-honored method of relieving Android users of their hard-earned cash. They infiltrate a smartphone under the guise of useful apps and secretly subscribe to paid services.

Here are the most notable examples of the mobile Trojan subscribers that Kaspersky experts have observed in the past year.
