Have you ever wondered why fish don’t know how to use computers? It’s because they’re scared of the ‘net! But, there’s one ‘fish’ that seems as comfortable as an eel in the cyber ocean: the new Android malware now making a name for itself, “FjordPhantom”. This nasty intruder has been specifically targeting those living in Southeast Asian nations including Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, since early September 2023.
FjordPhantom, like that annoying distant relative forwarding outdated memes, spreads mainly through messaging services. This insidious malware doesn’t stop at just spreading though; it employs a dastardly combination of app-based malware and social engineering to swindle banking customers. It’s like a catfish, pretending to be something or someone it’s not, to gain the user’s trust before plundering their accounts.

Using messaging services as its main distribution venue, it combines app-based malware techniques with social engineering to con banking customers. It is another reminder to always keep our cyber guard up.
