200+ Malicious Android Apps Targeting Iranian Banks: Experts Warn

Android malware targeted at Iranian banks has heightened its evasion tactics, according to Zimperium. The campaign has seen over 200 malicious apps connected to the operation, involving phishing attacks on the targeted institutions. Aimed at gathering banking login credentials and credit card details, the apps trick victims into allocating wide-ranging permissions.
