TangleBot is Using Coronavirus Lures to Target Victims
In a new smishing campaign, TangleBot was discovered targeting Android users in the U.S. and Canada with lures related to COVID-19 regulations and vaccine information. Malicious messages, if clicked, notify users that their Flash player has become obsolete and must be updated. Users need to be wary of suspicious SMSes and avoid clicking on any links from unknown sources without adequate security in place.
