Malware such as Adware<\/a>, cryptocurrency mining malware, remote access tools, mobile banking and short messaging service trojans, mobile spyware and ransomware were active and users must ensure they are safe from them, it said.
Explaining the ways in which the malware work, Cert-In said users must be aware of fake applications and websites which entice them by using legitimate company names or references.
“They can persistently push ads, track and report location, and other sensitive information or subscribe users to premium services without consent,” according to the advisory.
To avoid falling victim to malware and their methods, Cert-In suggested that users keep their operating systems and apps updated, use strong authentication, disable unneeded network radios, install security software, and always delete data before discarding the device.
