A new phishing campaign targeting people who are waiting for a message from the health department regarding the quarantine.

Cybercriminals try to trick smartphone users into installing malicious application. According to Niebezpiecznik, scammers send text messages in which they inform them about being sent to home quarantine.

Text of the SMS: “You have been selected for home quarantine. Download the application to check the next visit by the police https://kwarantanna-domowa(.)com/.”

Niebezpiecznik warns against opening the hyperlink attached to the message, which leads to a website imitating Google Play Store app marketplace. The recipient of the message is prompted to download the “Home Quarantine” app, which houses a banking Trojan that intercepts data from an Android device. If you log into the bank on an infected device, the application intercepts the data, the next step is to steal the funds from the bank account.

Remember that in case of information about quarantine, the health department informs the specific persons through its telephone system, not an SMS.
