"Finland Warns About 'FluBot' Malware Spread Via SMS"

Finland's National Cyber Security Center (NCSC-FI) issued an alert about a FluBot malware campaign that has been targeting Android users in the country since July 2021. The infamous banking malware, now active in Finland, has affected thousands of users across Australia and the UK. FluBot targets Android users through malicious messages or pop-ups. The messages, used to distribute FluBot, alert victims about a new voicemail or a missed call from an unknown number. They contain a link that redirects the user to a malicious website, where the malware is then deployed on the targeted device. FluBot malware is capable of stealing sensitive information from the compromised device and infecting other installed banking apps. This article continues to discuss the FluBot malware that is now targeting Android users in Finland and mitigation measures for affected users recommended by NCSC-FI.
