The National Cybercrime Threat Analytics Unit, under the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, issued advisory TAU/ADV/018 on August 26 warning of fake porn apps—Night Play, Reloop, Kyss, Vimo, Rivo, Nexo, and Vixa—that download malicious updates and request Accessibility permissions. Once granted, attackers can monitor screens, capture OTPs and PINs, initiate unauthorized financial transactions, and install VPNs to route traffic through malicious servers. The malware resists removal, prompting users to use Safe Mode or a factory reset. The advisory urges enabling Google Play Protect, updating software, and monitoring bank activity for irregularities.
