Android Users Warned After Infamous Chameleon Banking Trojan Re-Emerges In New Version

The Chameleon banking trojan is back, targeting Android devices by disabling user safeguards including face unlock and fingerprints to steal PINs. It uses HTML pages to trick users into granting it access to their device accessibility. Initially seen in early 2023, the trojan often mimics government agencies or banks. It’s now being distributed via Zombinder, disguised like Google Chrome. Security experts warn that vigilance and routine scans are crucial to minimize this threat.
