SpyNote Spyware Now Targets Financial Institutions
Security experts have witnessed an increase in spyNote malware infections known for espionage campaigns and now, for bank fraud. The attack chain often starts with a fake SMS message, redirecting users to download a “certified banking app” that is actually SpyNote. Notably, TeamViewer has been exploited by threat actors in these fraud operations through social engineering attacks, where attackers impersonate bank operators to execute fraudulent transactions on victims’ devices.
