*A new Android malware threatens crypto wallets 🚨*
The security company ThreatFabric has discovered *Crocodilus*, an Android malware specifically targeting cryptocurrency wallets. This malicious software, disguised as legitimate applications related to crypto-assets, uses *social engineering* techniques to prompt users to save their recovery phrases (*seed phrases*).
Once installed, *Crocodilus* exploits *Android's accessibility permissions* to:
-Take remote control of the phone
-Overlay fraudulent screens (*overlays*)
-Steal sensitive data
*Protect yourself*: always check the legitimacy of applications and avoid granting sensitive permissions without justification.
