Just a warning to Android users to be vigilant:

A text-message scam that infects Android phones is spreading across the UK, experts have warned.

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.

Called Flubot, it can take over devices and spy on phones to gather sensitive data, including online banking details.

@MI5 The thing is most people don't see these posts, when I sign into Community then click - View All - None of the stickies or recent moderator posts show up, what's the point in adding security warnings to a February thread when most people don't even see it?
