According to official sources/a statement issued by the SRI, these days a malware campaign targeting mobile phones is underway with the aim of obtaining bank credentials from users' mobile terminals. In this campaign, SMS messages are sent that appear to be sent by a real service provider, most often a courier company.

To protect yourself from malware, we recommend that you carefully check every message you receive, either as an email or as an SMS.

• periodically check the permissions granted to already installed mobile applications, and when installing new applications, grant permissions on a timely basis and according to needs
• use anti-virus solutions and make sure they are up-to-date
