New malware EventBot may attack Indian banking apps 

<p>Banking apps on the Android platform could be vulnerable to a new malware called &lsquo;EventBot&rsquo;, said CERT-In. In a warning, it said the Trojan virus may &quot;masquerade as a legitimate app i.e Microsoft Word, Adobe flash etc using third-party app downloading sites to get into a device&quot;. The new virus targets over 200 BFSI apps based in the US and Europe -- Paypal, Revolut, Barclays, HSBC UK, TransferWise, etc. CERT-In, however, claims that Indian users may be affected as well.</p>
