Malware Tricks You Into Downloading Apps | Leicester News

Hackers are dropping slick, fake websites that mimic real brands like airlines and tax offices — luring you with urgent offers like job deals or flight discounts via text or social media. Once you click, they trick you into downloading a malicious Android app that steals your banking info by hijacking two-factor codes sent via SMS. Even your bank’s security is useless once they’ve got your one-time passwords. These scams are localized to your country, constantly rotating domains, and have been active since last August — with over 100 fake sites identified. Stay safe: never download apps from links, verify URLs, distrust urgency, and if you think you’re compromised, disconnect, uninstall, change passwords remotely, and call your bank immediately.
