Delete the “Document Viewer — File Reader” app from your smartphone immediately, as it has been found to be a banking trojan that hijacks apps on your phone to steal your credentials and money. Even with recent upgrades to the Android platform making it more difficult for malicious threats to exploit vulnerabilities, Anatsa’s attacks still pose a significant risk.
The app, which is available for download from the Google Play Store, disguises itself as a legitimate file reader or viewer, allowing users to view their documents or files securely. However, once installed, the malware overlays your banking app with a fake maintenance message, claiming that it is down for scheduled maintenance, while in the background, it steals your login credentials and financial information.
ThreatFabric, which has been tracking Anatsa’s activity since 2020, emphasizes its high level of success in successfully targeting users in North America, securing tens of thousands of installs. It is crucial to prioritize security measures on your Android device by enabling Play Protect and monitoring your account activities closely.
It is essential to remove the app from your phone as well, as Google has already taken action by deleting it from the Google Play Store.
