A fake BZWBK bank application for Android systems has recently appeared in the Google Play store. As reported by the Niebezpiecznik portal, the application's task is to steal login details and intercept the text messages.

The application was displayed under the name BZWBK light, and even though it was available just for one day, the fake app was installed more than 1000 times. Such a large number of downloads is most likely connected with the launching of a wide advertising campaign, which allowed to popularize the app on various websites, like for example Wykop.pl.

The fake application has been removed from the Google Play store, however, it is still available in other, unofficial app stores.

Cybercriminals responsible for the development of the fake BZWBK app have proven their skills, by creating an very convincing replica of the app, confusingly similar to the original. In addition, unlike in the majority of such cases, the messages generated by the fake app were free of any language errors, which only made it look more plausible for the potential victims.

So far there has not been any reply from the BZWBK bank, other than a brief statement that the bank will be sending an appropriate warnings to its clients.
