New scam virus

Friday 11 March, 2016.

There have been recent Australian media reports of malicious software being used to steal banking details from Android™ mobile phones. The malware is designed to mimic the login screens of mobile banking apps, and typically arrives as a link in an SMS or MMS message.

Members are advised to:

• only install legitimate apps from the applicable app stores
• never open attachments, click on links or install apps (or software updates) from links in text messages, social media posts, web pages or emails; and
• be wary of free downloads or links which claim to provide access to websites, footage or other online information
