Multiple apps are distributing an infostealer that targets victims in Eastern Asia.
Cybersecurity experts from Check Point Research recently discovered a new malware campaign targeting Android users in Easter Asia. In the campaign, the threat actors built mobile apps that mimicked actual solutions and tried to trick people into downloading them.
Those that would fall for the trick would end up giving sensitive personal data, such as passwords (opens in new tab) and banking details, to the hackers.
The researchers dubbed the malware “FluHorse”, reporting its operators have been active for a year now. The criminals would try to distribute the malware via email, sending phishing emails to “high-profile” targets telling them to download an app and sort out a pending payment problem.
