**Executive summary:** Finland's Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) and local banks warn of an active Android smishing campaign that uses spoofed SMS and phone calls to trick victims into installing a fake McAfee APK (suspected Vultur banking trojan), enabling attackers to access bank accounts and steal funds (reported loss ~95,000 EUR); authorities advise contacting banks, reporting to police, and factory-resetting infected devices.
