Analyst conclusion

A single tier-1 detection (Ikarus) labels the APK Trojan-Spy.AndroidOS.Banker, yet 73 other engines report clean and no sandbox execution or host-reputation results are available. The file is 111 days old with medium prevalence and no external-intel hits.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • Single tier-1 detection on an Android sample with no sandbox run and no external-intel corroboration leaves the malicious label unconfirmed.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Recommended action

Treat the file as unverified; avoid installation until additional Android-specific scans or sandbox results become available.

LoonaByTK9.apk is an Android app (APK), about 11.8 MB. We identify a file by its cryptographic hash rather than its name, because the same filename can be reused by completely different files — the hash below is the reliable fingerprint.
How many antivirus engines detected LoonaByTK9.apk?
Evidence-based answer
2 of 75 antivirus engines flagged LoonaByTK9.apk, 2 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence.
What should I do if I already installed LoonaByTK9.apk?
Evidence-based answer
Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
How do I remove LoonaByTK9.apk?
Evidence-based answer
To remove LoonaByTK9.apk: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete this app from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.

How up to date is this analysis of LoonaByTK9.apk?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on August 28, 2026.

If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
