Android malware posing as a fake Chrome update is stealing banking app logins

Some online scams are more conspicuous than others, but the most insidious can be especially tricky to spot. For instance, last week, cybersecurity firm ThreatFabric uncovered a new Android malware family that cleverly disguises itself as a Google Chrome update. Before you click a link claiming to provide updates for Chrome, be sure that it isn't fake.

ThreatFabric analysts found the malware -- which they dubbed Brokewell -- on a fake browser update page designed to fool people into downloading a malicious app.
