New Crocodilus malware targets Android users through Facebook ads

The rapidly evolving Crocodilus Android banking Trojan, first detected in 2025, is one of the fastest-growing cyber threats. It uses social media ads, mimics banking apps, and creates fake contacts to trick users. It primarily targets Android users, disguising itself as legit-looking financial apps. The malware’s capabilities include extensive data theft and remote control. Users are advised to avoid downloading apps from ads or unknown sources, review app permissions, keep their devices updated, and be skeptical of unfamiliar contacts or urgent messages.
