FluBot’s Authors Employ Creative and Sophisticated Techniques to Achieve Their Goals in Version 5.0 and Beyond​

In early 2020, a new sophisticated malware for Android called FluBot began to appear. On infected devices, the malware can take full remote control of the device; access victim’s contact lists; send, intercept, and hide SMS messages; log the victim’s keystrokes; steal one-time passcodes; collect personal information; carry out overlay attacks and more. Originally, the malware authors mainly targeted Spanish banks but later expanded their targets to include Australian, German, Polish, and UK banks (HSBC, Santander, Lloyds, Halifax, and others).

The figure below shows an example of the command and control (C2) panel, which contains detailed statistics about victims’ devices.
