The Anubis Android banking malware is now targeting the customers of nearly 400 financial institutions in a new malware campaign.
The threat actors target financial institutions, cryptocurrency wallets, and virtual payment platforms by impersonating an Orange S.A. Android app that attempts to steal login credentials.
In 2019, the malware added what appeared to be an almost functional ransomware module and found its way into Google's Play Store through fake apps.
In 2020, Anubis returned through large-scale phishing campaigns, targeting 250 shopping and banking apps.
Anubis will display fake phishing login forms when users open up apps for targeted platforms to steal credentials.
