Android has a new threat to worry about. The operating system is facing new malware. This time under the name of Invisible Man. The malware manages to get into phones with Google's operating system by posing as a Flash update.

Invisible Man: New Android malware that steals bank details

Users get a notification that Flash needs to be updated urgently. Although it really isn't. And in this way, Invisible Man manages to enter the device in question. And that's where the danger begins.

Invisible Man steals bank details

Invisible Man is based on Svpeng, which we told you about a couple of days ago. When the malware enters the phone through the supposed Flash update, it checks if the language of the device is Russian or not. If it is, strange as it sounds, his attack stops. If the language is not Russian, then start your homework. You are going to ask us for accessibility permits, which you will use for your purpose.

This malware seeks to steal our bank details. Whether it is the access data to online banking or our credit card number. In addition, Invisible Man also manages to establish itself as the default SMS app. So if they send us a security code, they can access it.

Invisible Man is the latest threat to come to Android. Without a doubt it is very dangerous, since it can steal the user's data without the user knowing it. So if we get any Flash notification, ignore it. Especially if it says that updating is urgent. In that case, you already know that it is malware.
