URGENT WARNING: Counterfeit Phones with Crypto-Stealing Malware!!!

Kaspersky researchers have uncovered a massive scam involving counterfeit Android smartphones infected with the Triada Trojan. These devices, sold online at discounted prices, contain malware designed to steal cryptocurrencies, sensitive data, and more.

Key Facts:

1. 2,600 confirmed infections: Kaspersky has identified thousands of infected devices worldwide, with the majority of cases in Russia.

2. Triada Trojan: The malware infects every process, granting attackers "almost unlimited control" over the device.

3. Crypto theft: Attackers can steal cryptocurrencies by replacing wallet addresses.

4. Additional capabilities: The trojan can steal user account information, intercept texts (including 2FA), and more.

5. Supply chain compromise: The malware is embedded in smartphone firmware before devices reach users, potentially unbeknownst to sellers.

Protect Yourself:

1. Buy from authorized dealers: Only purchase smartphones from reputable, authorized sellers.

2. Verify device authenticity: Check the device's IMEI and serial number to ensure it's genuine.

3. Use antivirus software: Install and regularly update antivirus software to detect and remove malware.

4. Be cautious of discounts: If a deal seems too good to be true, it may be a counterfeit device.

Stay vigilant and protect your digital assets!
