The FluBot malware is now being spread through fake security updates warning users their devices are infected with FluBot.
The creators of FluBot have launched a new campaign that uses fake Android security update warnings to trick potential victims into installing the malware on their devices. In a new blog post, New Zealand’s computer emergency response team Cert NZ has warned users that the message on the malware’s new installation page is actually a lure designed to instill a sense of urgency that tricks users into installing FluBot on their own devices. The new FluBot installation page, that users are led to after receiving fake messages about pending or missed package deliveries or even stolen photos uploaded online, informs them that their devices are infected with FluBot which is a form of Android spyware used to steal financial login and password data from their devices.
