Apart from Android phones, this virus is also targeting bank accounts. Complaints in this regard are increasing. Experts say that it is necessary to be careful while surfing online at this time.
‘Poison Panda’ has managed to trick Google Chrome and banking apps. According to the threat intelligence team of cyber security firm Cleafy’s, Toxic Panda has infected more than 1500 devices in Europe and Latin America so far.
This Trojan can also attack by disguising any known app. People whose Android phones are targeted by this malware have no idea that their mobile phones are at stake until they receive their bank statements.
