Fake Netflix app hijacked WhatsApp messages to spread malware on Android phones
A fraudulent Netflix app which took control of users’ WhatsApp accounts has been spreading on Google’s Play Store.
The “FlixOnline” app claimed that it would let users access Netflix content from multiple regions on their phones.
Instead, it monitored the users’ WhatsApp notifications, sending automatically replies to the users messages telling them to sign up for FlixOnline.
