NITB Issues Warning to Android Users for Fake Netflix App with Malware

The National Information Technology Board recently concluded that an app called “FlixOnline” that claims to deliver infinite entertainment for free with no advertising is actually a new source of infection. All Android users have been advised not to download the software, according to NITB.

According to the National Institute of Technology, the app transmits a dangerous file that is basically a wormable Android malware capable of propagating itself automatically by replying to a victim’s incoming WhatsApp messages. The app responds by delivering the same file again.

Users should remove the programme if it has been downloaded, and never use such untrusted apps in the first place, according to the IT Board. Overall, this malware appears to be just another way for hackers to profit from stealing a large amount of personal information, thus all users are recommended to double-check any software they intend to download by reading reviews and visiting any available website.

CWPK Legacy
Launched in 1967 internationally, ComputerWorld is the oldest tech magazine/media property in the world. In Pakistan, ComputerWorld was launched in 1995. Initially providing news to IT executives only, once CIO Pakistan, its sister brand from the same family, was launched and took over the enterprise reporting domain in Pakistan, CWPK has emerged as a holistic technology media platform reporting everything tech in the country. It remains the oldest continuous IT publishing brand in the country and in 2025 is set to turn 30 years old, which will be its biggest benchmark and a legacy it hopes to continue for years to come. CWPK is part of the SPIN/IDG Wakhan media umbrella.
