There have been widespread reports of a new scam affecting Android users called “Flubot”

This is a text-message scam that infects Android phones and is spreading across the UK. The message – which pretends to be from a package delivery firm, prompts users to install a tracking app – but is actually a malicious piece of spyware.

Crucially, it can take over devices and spy on phones to gather confidential data, including things such as sensitive work information or online banking details.

It has been reported on BBC news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-56859091
