#TECH: Cybercriminals deploy fake sites to prowl for banking credentials. [Newspaper] (2022)
Abstract
PETALING JAYA: ESET researchers have analysed three malicious Android applications targeting to make a profit off customers who have increasingly turned to online shopping by tricking eager shoppers into downloading malicious applications. According to an ESET researcher who analysed the malicious applications, Lukáš Štefanko, people are increasingly using smartphones and in the first quarter of 2021, smartphones accounted for 69 per cent of all retail website visits worldwide, and smartphone purchases made up 57 per cent of online shopping orders, which motivates cybercriminals to seek the opportunity to make a profit off this behaviour.
