This password-stealing Android malware is spreading quickly: Here's what to watch out for | #FluBot #CyberSecurity #MobileSecurity | information analyst | Scoop.it

A malware campaign with the aim of stealing passwords, bank details and other sensitive information is spreading quickly through Android devices.

Known as FluBot, the malware is installed via text messages claiming to be from a delivery company that asks users to click a link to track a package delivery. This phishing link asks users to install an application to follow the fake delivery – but the app is actually malware for stealing information from infected Android smartphones.

Once installed, FluBot also gains access to the victim's address book, allowing it to send the infected text message to all their contacts, further spreading the malware.
