Since malware is not bound by any border, it will not be a surprise if it targets users in India as well. This malware is targeting everything from Facebook and WhatsApp to cryptocurrency apps.

According to the report, this malware is installed in users' Android smartphones through a dropper which is found in many fitness apps and phone security authenticator apps. Some of these are also available on Google Play Store.

This is also dangerous because it is recording the screen of the users' smartphone. Screen recording means whatever you are doing on your phone, it is being recorded.

It is being recorded and sent remotely to the hacker from where the users can be affected. That is, cyber attackers can do great harm to the users by using it wrongly. What can you do to avoid this? 

According to ThreatFabric, users can detect Vultur malware. Because when it is uploading data from your phone to the server, then the casting icon becomes active in the phone. This icon will appear at the top of the phone. By looking at this, you can find out that the data is being sent from your phone somewhere else.

Apart from this, even if the phone has paid anti virus, it can detect it. If you do not want to keep anti virus, then it can be avoided by following the previous step. 

At present, not much is known about this malware in India. Because so far there have not been cases in which this malware is targeting people's smartphones here.
