The SOVA virus is a new type of Android malware that targets over 200 mobile banking and cryptocurrency apps. It collects keystrokes, steals cookies and authentication tokens, takes screenshots and records videos without permission. It is one of the most dangerous viruses for mobile banking in India, as it is difficult to uninstall and can encrypt data, potentially leading to large-scale financial fraud against users. Users should only download apps from official stores, review app permissions, and be wary of unidentified emails or links.
