A new malware named "Sturnus" targets Android devices in Europe and threatens the security of users' banking data and encrypted conversations. This malicious software is capable of accessing information displayed on the screen, including text messages. It can impersonate users' login credentials by creating fake banking login interfaces. This malware is currently rampant in Europe, posing a potential for larger-scale attacks. Its presence urges caution, advising against downloading APK files from unknown sources and strictly sticking to official stores like the Play Store. What other good practices should be adopted to protect against such malware?

    So are the security vulnerabilities protected now, because if they found it in America, when will it be for France and the other countries, because if they start attacking in Europe to train, there are traces to be made.

      "Fossilizing a potential"...

      If it is fossilized, it means it has been dead for a long time, except for some sort of night of the living dead.

      Like all other malware, except in the particular case of remote control of the phone, it is as stated in the article that the user wanted it by downloading dubious applications.

      It does not exist in computers either, despite security antivirus systems that can protect the user from their own incompetence.
