A malware campaign offering malware-as-a-service (MaaS) is targeting Android
users based in India.

According to Broadcom, the campaign distributes malicious APK packages and seeks
out banking information, SMS messages, and other sensitive information from a
victim's device. 

This campaign is actively being exploited and distributed under the guise of
helpful apps like customer support services, online bookings, or billing and
courier services.

Android users in the affected regions can protect themselves by downloading only
applications from trusted sources, using security software, and staying up to
date on any threats that could potentially affect their devices.
