Rokarolla Android malware can take over your phone and steal banking logins

Rokarolla is a newly analyzed Android banking Trojan that targets over 200 banking and crypto apps by deploying fake overlay login pages, abusing Accessibility permissions to read/send SMS and monitor apps (to intercept OTPs and 2FA), replacing clipboard wallet addresses, and using stealth capabilities (hide icon, disable Play Protect). It spreads via rogue sites pushing sideloaded fake apps that impersonate system components and request powerful permissions; users are advised to avoid sideloading, deny unnecessary Accessibility/SMS/call permissions, and use up-to-date mobile security.
