Android phone users urged to delete two apps due to malware which could affect thousands

Android phone users have been urged to delete apps that have been affected by invasive malware with thousands of people believed to be at risk.

SharkBot is a banking trojan which was first discovered in 2018 and the malicious app was found targeting cryptocurrency apps where it would steal the victims' login information. This allowed hackers to use the victims' accounts.

The malicious malware resurfaced on Google Play earlier this week and users have been warned to look out for two apps which have been corrupted. These apps only become infected with the virus once they have been downloaded on to a phone.
