Finland's Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) is warning about an ongoing Android malware campaign attempting to breach online bank accounts.
The agency has highlighted multiple cases of SMS messages written in Finnish that instruct recipients to call a number. The scammer who answers the call instructs victims to install a McAfee app for protection.
The messages are supposedly sent from banks or payment service providers like MobilePay, and they use spoofing technology to appear as if they come from a domestic telecom operator or local network.
However, the McAfee app is malware that will allow threat actors to breach victim's bank accounts.
I need to be careful, I use an android phone!
