This is contained in a statement issued by the Director of Public Affairs , NCC, Dr Ikechukwu Adinde, on Friday in Abuja.
“The ngCERT affirmed that Flubot impersonates Android mobile banking applications to draw fake web view on targeted applications and its goal transcends stealing personal data and essentially targets stealing of credit card details or online banking credentials. The NCC noted that the new malware undermines the security of devices by copying fake login screens of prominent banks and moment the users enter their login details on the fake pages, their data would be harvested and transmitted.
It suffices to say that, when Flubot infects a device, it can result in incalculable financial losses. “Do not click on the link if you receive a suspicious text message, and do not install any app or security update the page asks you to install. Use updated antivirus software that detects and prevents malware infections.
“Do not restore from backups created after installing the app. You may contact ngCERT on incident@cert.gov.ng for technical assistance. You will also need to change the passwords to all of your online accounts, with urgency, around your online bank accounts.
