Dear customer, dear partner,
We would like to inform you that mobile customers are being targeted by cybercriminals.
These cybercriminals attempt to obtain access to personal data by installing a piece of malware on the End-User device.
Besides the "usual" SIMbox, FluBot malware is currently very active. It spreads via SMS through contacts on the infected phone, with the ultimate goal to steal bank details and passwords from their devices.
How does it work?
FluBot pulls off a rather audacious bluff by warning users that they have been infected by… FluBot. It offers to install a (fake) security update to "protect" the user from FluBot. The malware goes so far as to explain how to disable the phone's security to install the fake update.
As from the moment the fake security update is installed, the malware actually infects the device.
In case you experience such practice, please immediately report to our support team.
