A new Android Trojan has been identified by cybersecurity firm Zimperium, which on Monday released a report explaining how the malware has been able to hit more than 10,000 victims in 144 countries.
“FlyTrap is another example of threats targeting our mobile devices. They are built to steal your information such as your social media usernames and passwords and can cause all sorts of havoc,” said Anna Collard, senior vice-president of content strategy and evangelist for KnowBe4 Africa, a company which provides security awareness training.
Zimperium said if your phone battery runs out too quickly, if you have pop-ups coming up, or strange apps that one has not downloaded are the red flags which could indicate that your phone has been hacked or infected with mobile malware.“Don’t ever click on a WhatsApp or SMS link that tries to trick you into updating an app, downloading an app or installing anything.
