Once you tap the malicious link:
• A worm takes over your WhatsApp and sends infected links to your contacts
• “Smart filtering” avoids groups/business contacts and targets individuals
• A banking trojan installs silently, scanning your device for financial data across Brazilian banks, fintech apps, and crypto wallets
The malware even uses a Gmail inbox to receive new hacker commands, helping it evade shutdowns.
