The scam works like this - Once downloaded, a 9-digit app code is generated on the user’s device and cybercriminals ask for the code to be shared pretending to be calling from the user’s bank.Once the hacker enters the code on his device, he gains access to the user’s device after a few permissions, not dissimilar from those sought by other apps.
