This sneaky Android app can steal your bank info even after you delete it

A harmful Android app is being used to trick people into entering banking PINs, passwords, and verification codes on fake screens. It can also keep access to a phone and even return after someone thinks they deleted it, increasing the chance of stolen money or account misuse.


Who is at risk

Android phone users, especially people who use mobile banking or install apps from links, pop-ups, or unofficial download pages, are most at risk.

What to watch for

Watch for banking apps or login pages that suddenly look different, unexpected requests for codes or phone permissions, strange pop-ups, missing money, or an app that seems to come back after being removed.

What to do

Immediately remove suspicious apps, avoid installing apps from links or unknown websites, change your banking password from a trusted device, and contact your bank if you notice anything unusual.
