New 'Albiriox' Super Virus Steals Money Without OTP; Android Users at Risk

• A dangerous new 'super virus' named 'Albiriox' is targeting Android smartphone users, capable of emptying bank accounts without an OTP.
• The virus exploits 'Accessibility Services' to infiltrate banking apps and transfer money unilaterally, bypassing user alerts and OTPs.
• It spreads through fake apps and unknown APK files downloaded from links on platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram, often disguised as free offers.
• Cybersecurity firm 'Cleafy' confirmed the threat, noting 'Albiriox' is sold as 'Malware-as-a-Service' (MaaS), making it accessible to criminals.
• Protect yourself by only downloading apps from Google Play Store, disabling 'Install Unknown Apps', keeping 'Google Play Protect' on, and installing software updates.

Why It Matters: A new 'Albiriox' virus can empty Android bank accounts without OTP; vigilance and secure app practices are crucial.
