So-called Flubot malware which specifically targets Android mobile phone users is the latest cyber threat to emerge to the people of Ireland. The Flubot malware has been targeting Irish people in recent days with reports of fraudulent text messages from Irish mobile numbers pretending to be from delivery drivers. The difference with Flubot malware is that once this link is clicked, it will prompt Android users to download an app to sort this delivery issue. The NCSC has urged people to delete any text messages people are suspicious of. “Flubot malware has been around for a few months now and it’s a very real problem,” Ronan Murphy of SmartTech said on RTÉ Drivetime.
