A new piece of malware software has been found making the rounds across Android devices, specifically spreading via WhatsApp messages.
WhatsApp can’t seem to catch even a moment’s breath before something goes wrong. Ever since its introduction of an unfortunate policy change to the platform’s Terms of Service, there’s been a constant stream of users jumping ship and migrating to other competitors such as Signal or Telegram. While WhatsApp finally called the policy change off and delayed it until May 2021, it’s now got a new adversary to quickly deal with before even more people decide to bid adieu to the social media communication app. That very antagonist comes in the form of a worm virus masquerading as an innocuous Huawei mobile app.
