There is an important alert for all the taxpayers. A malware called Drinic is back 

According to a blog by Syble, Cyble Research & Intelligence Labs (CRIL) has identified an upgraded version of Drinik 

Which is impersonating the Indian tax department and targeting 18 banks including State Bank of India (SBI) 

Be aware that Drinik malware has been targeting the banking industry since 2016 

Earlier the malware used to work as SMS stealer but now it has evolved into Android Trojan 

After development, the malware can now perform screen recording 

This is a huge risk to all Tax Payers

Thereby harvesting credentials, keylogging, abusing the call screening service to handle incoming calls 

Also, the latest version of Drinik malware comes as an APK named iAssist 

It may be known that iAssist is the official tax management tool of India Tax Department
