Even though you should always download new apps from official sources like the Google Play Store, some Android users still end up getting tricked into downloading them from websites which can be extremely dangerous. Case in point, a new Android banking trojan is currently making the rounds online that’s distributed via fake apps from malicious websites.
As reported by BleepingComputer, once installed on vulnerable Android phones, the banking trojan in question is capable of targeting over 200 banking and financial apps to drain accounts and steal crypto. Unsurprisingly, it does so by impersonating Google Chrome and TikTok as both apps are extremely popular.
