Mobile Threat Alert: GhostGrab Malware!
 
Cybercriminals are getting more sophisticated, and GhostGrab is a clear example. This Android malware doesn’t just steal banking credentials—it can also:

• Run hidden cryptocurrency mining that drains your battery and CPU
• Harvest debit card and online banking login information
• Intercept SMS messages, including one-time passwords (OTPs)
• Collect detailed device and SIM data
• Hide itself and resist removal
• Use phishing pages within apps to trick victims into revealing sensitive information
• Leverage Firebase as a Command & Control (C2) server, making traditional detection more difficult

How to Protect Yourself:

✅ Only download apps from official sources, such as the Google Play Store or, for iOS devices, the Apple App Store
 ✅ Avoid unknown APKs and suspicious links
 ✅ Monitor your bank accounts and SMS activity regularly
 ✅ Keep your device and apps updated
 
Mobile malware is evolving—stay informed, stay protected.
