Beware, this malware enters your smartphone through WhatsApp

Date:

Hiddenly, malware enters WhatsApp on your phone. You must know this.

Malware can hit your smartphone to the left or to the right. It is up to the manufacturer to keep your device safe with updates to software. But you also need to stay informed to prevent malicious parties from gaining access. In this sense, this new form of WhatsApp malware is interesting to see.

WhatsApp Malware

What’s going on? In Play store From Google, a new application has been launched by the name of FlixOnline. The app looks unique NetflixBut this is definitely not the case. The malware is sent through automated messages sent to other smartphones via WhatsApp. It is completely automatic and without your knowledge. All of this was discovered by security researchers from Control.

Those with bad intentions hope that the recipient opens the WhatsApp malware and the smartphone can get infected and infiltrate. Victims who receive WhatsApp messages are offered to try Netflix for free for two months. This sounds really cool, of course, but it is a scam.

After notifying the Check Point, Google removes the application from the Play Store. However, the app was on the Play Store for two months, and the app was downloaded about 500 times in that period. So if you’re getting dark text messages on Netflix for free for a few months, you know what to do. Ignore and advise the sender!
