This nasty malware is openly advertised online—and yet it’s just been found in three dangerous apps, stealing messages and banking credentials from infected phones...Another serious warning for Android users this week, to beware apps that claim to provide interfaces into popular messaging platforms.
“Android users are automatically protected against known versions of malware by Google Play Protect,” the company advises, “on by default on Android devices with Google Play Services. Google Play Protect can warn users or block apps known to exhibit malicious behavior, even when those apps come from sources outside of Play.”
ESET’s report includes details of the timeline by which this latest campaign was identified, but it’s the basis of the warning that’s much more important. Such copycat apps or those seeming to offer links to popular, well-established apps are designed to trick users into thinking they’re safe. Stick to official app stores—don’t use third-party stores and never change your device’s security settings to enable an app to load.
