Beware of malware by the name of Flubot (or Cabassous), which is out to steal user data on Android devices. This malicious software program is spread via a link in an SMS telling users they’ve missed a package delivery. In the UK, Germany and Spain, this spyware is causing concern among authorities.

Make sure you double (or triple) check before clicking any links on your cellphone. This advice can’t be repeated enough, but malware attacks, seeking to steal user data are on the rise, and they’re increasingly discreet and cunning.
