A fake Netflix app on Google Play Store targeted to spread malware by automatically responding to WhatsApp messages. However, now Google has taken down the app that goes by the name FlixOnline.  
As per the security firm Check Point Research, the FlixOnline app sported a Netflix-like look to trick users. Not just that, it also promised two months of free subscription to users through WhatsApp messages. 
The app offering a free subscription shared a link that redirected users to a website to just capture their personal data including credit card details. Many Android users downloaded the fake app confusing it with Netflix.
