Android phone users are being warned of a flood of hacking SMS messages.
The malware is capable of stealing passwords and log in details.
The National Cyber Security Center says hundreds of messages have been sent zo Swiss phones – operators Swisscom and Salt have confirmed the messages have been sent – but are not revealing the number.
Swisscom says the first messages were being sent from the 12th September.
The messages invite the recipient to click on a link to retrieve a voice mail message. Obviously, don’t do that and delete the message instead.
The link will attempt to download an app – which it says you need to get the message.
If the software is downloaded, it’s almost impossible to get rid of it without a factory reset of the device.
