In this first article of a two-part series, IBM X-Force exposes some of its research on the typical malware and tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used in Brazilian financial cybercrime.

In July 2018, Researches reported three fake Android banking apps that phished for users' credit card details and leaked them online by transferring them to an exposed server.

IBM X-Force reported that mobile malware developers uploaded at least 10 malicious downloader apps to the Google Play Store as the first step in a process that fetches BankBot Anubis.
