In smartphone security, many people use complex passwords to protect themselves from password hacking. Some others use fingerprint and facial recognition technology to safeguard against password breaches. However, this time, a malware named 'Gold Digger' is stealing various information including Face IDs of iPhone users. Cybersecurity firm 'Group-IB' researchers have discovered this banking Trojan malware.
According to the researchers at 'Group-IB', iPhone users residing in various countries across Asia-Pacific are being targeted by the 'Gold Digger' malware. Once the malware infiltrates the device, it collects crucial information including Face IDs of users, and sends them to cybercriminals remotely.
