Malware disguised as a Netflix app, lurking on Google Play store, spread through WhatsApp messages, researchers have discovered. Malware masqueraded as an app called FlixOnline, which advertised via WhatsApp messages promising 2 Months of Netflix Premium Free Anywhere in the World for 60 days. The malware was designed to listen for incoming WhatsApp messages and respond to any that the victims receive, with the content of the response crafted by the adversaries. The responses attempted to lure others with the offer of a free Netflix service, and contained links to a fake Netflix site.
