Summary

Hide ▲

The SpyBanker Android campaign is now targeting Indian banking users, increasing the risk of call hijacking and financial-data theft. The malware is likely spread through WhatsApp as a fake customer help service app. Once installed, it can redirect calls to an attacker-controlled number and harvest SIM details, SMS messages, and banking data. That combination creates a direct fraud path for attackers to intercept account activity and authentication signals.
