    Royal Mail scam: FakeSpy - new version.

    A new version of FakeSpy has reached Europe. It has been described as one of the most powerful information stealers. It infects Android phones by sending a text message saying that Royal Mail has been unable to deliver a package to you. It says to download what appears to be a Royal Mail app that requests permission to read text messages and ignore battery optimisation, which you click to agree to as usual! You will be sent to the real Royal Mail website.Your phone is now infected, and messages, phone numbers, banking app details will be stolen. It also sends itself to all your contacts.
