Finland's Transport and Communications Agency is warning about an ongoing Android malware campaign attempting to breach online bank accounts.
The McAfee app is malware that will allow threat actors to breach victim's bank accounts.
Although the authorities in Finland haven't determined the type of malware and have not shared any hashes or IDs for the APK files, the attacks resemble those Fox-IT analysts recently reported in connection to a new version of the Vultur trojan.
If you have installed the malware, you should contact your bank immediately to enable protection measures and restore "Factory settings" on the infected Android device to wipe all data and apps.
