**[Brazilian WhatsApp Malware Attack Targets Crypto Wallets and Bank Accounts]** According to a report by Trustwave's cybersecurity research team SpiderLabs, a banking trojan called "Eternidade Stealer" is being widely distributed in Brazil via WhatsApp. Attackers use tactics such as fake government program notifications, delivery messages, and investment groups to trick users into clicking malicious links, leading to device infections and the hijacking of WhatsApp accounts, which then automatically spread to contacts. This trojan can steal login credentials for multiple Brazilian banks, fintech companies, and cryptocurrency exchanges, and it uses pre-configured Gmail accounts to receive commands to evade detection. Security experts recommend users remain cautious of links and keep their software updated to prevent attacks.
