ALERT: ‘Fast Cleaner app’ stealing users’ bank details on Android devices, NCC warns
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has warned the public of a malicious app called ”Fast Cleaner” — which steals users’ banking app login credentials on Android devices.
Ikechukwu Adinde, NCC director of public affairs, issued the warning in a statement posted on the commission’s website on Saturday.
Adinde said the NCC Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) discovered the Fast Cleaner app which claims to be a phone booster and battery saver tool but actually contains a malware named ‘Xenomorph’.
He said the application’s main operation is to steal credentials, combined with the use of SMS and notification interception to log-in and use potential two-factor authentication tokens.
