FluBot is a text message scam that’s part of a large-scale smishing attack. Currently, it affects Android devices and is downloaded under the guise of a text with a link to a tracking app, or to retrieve a voicemail. The texts can appear to be from companies like DHL, Argos and Amazon.
If you click the link in the text, the malicious software may automatically download and take over your device, allowing infected texts to be sent to your contacts without your knowledge. The fraudster could also gain access to your messages and online banking details.
