Watch out for fake Clubhouse invitations spreading virus on Android

Android smartphone users have been warned of fake Clubhouse invitations that hide a malicious trojan virus.

ESET researcher Lukas Stefanko discovered that malicious messages inviting users to download the Clubhouse app for Android actually spread the Blackrock malware, which is capable of compromising login and payment credentials for a variety of platforms on the user's smartphone once installed.

Clubhouse is a popular and exclusive audio chat social network that was launched in April 2020 and is currently only available on iPhone.
