Android malware ‘Crocodilus’ can take over phones to steal crypto

Cybersecurity firm Threat Fabric says it has found a new family of mobile-device malware that can launch a fake overlay for certain apps to trick Android users into providing their crypto seed phrases as it takes over the device. Threat Fabric analysts said in a March 28 report that the Crocodilus malware uses a screen overlay warning users to back up their crypto wallet key by a specific deadline or risk losing access. “Once a victim provides a password from the application, the overlay will display a message: Back up your wallet key in the settings within 12 hours. Otherwise, the app will be reset, and you may lose access to your wallet,” Threat Fabric said source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/andriod-malware-crocodilus-can-take-over-phones-to-steal-crypto?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
