I4C advises caution as it sees rise in financial fraud through ‘malicious’ Android apps
New Delhi: Indian Cyber Crime Coordination (I4C) has observed a rise in financial fraud perpetrated through malicious Android applications masquerading as pornography apps, circulated through Facebook and Instagram advertisement operating under ‘Night Play’, ‘Reloop’, ‘Kyss’, ‘Vimo’, ‘Rivo’, ‘Nexo’, ‘Vixa’ and other similar variants.
According to an I4C advisory, “These applications are primarily distributed through advertisements on Facebook and Instagram, which redirect to websites serving pornographic content, where the user is prompted to download the APK (a package form used by Android).
