GodFather malware stealing banking credentials from Android phones
Android users are at risk due to the ‘GodFather’ malware, which is reportedly stealing banking credentials from phones. Experts at Group-IB security researchers have recently found that this Android malware has targeted users in 16 countries.
As per the information, after stealing users’ credentials and bypassing two-factor authentication, criminals access victims’ bank accounts and crypto wallets and then withdraw their money.

Moreover, the companies that are most targeted by the malware are located in the United States, Germany, the UK, France, Canada, Spain, and Turkey. Also, it is worth noting that the malware spares post-Soviet countries, which suggets that the Godfather’s developers are Russian speakers.
Furthermore, the Android Godfather malware is an updated version of the banking Trojan called Anubis, whose source code was leaked in 2019. As new versions of Android were released, and malware detection and prevention providers got up to speed, many Anubis features stopped working and got consigned to the dustbin of history.
Security researchers say that they don’t know how the Godfather malware infects devices. However, after analyzing the Trojan’s network infrastructure, they discovered a domain whose command-and-control address was related to an Android app.
Samsung could launch the Galaxy S23 FE smartphone in August or September this year. This information is arriving from a trusted German blog – winfuture.de, which has a solid track record of Samsung leaks.

The Galaxy S23 FE carries the model number SM-S711, while its internal codename is R11. The primary camera is getting upgraded to a 50-megapixel sensor, while other sensors may remain the same as the Galaxy S21 FE.
Earlier, it was reported that the Galaxy S23 FE will be equipped with Exynos 2200 processor. It’s the same processor, which Samsung used in European models of the Galaxy S22 series.
Another rumor claims that the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 may be used in the company’s next-gen affordable Galaxy S phone. It will help Samsung maintain the price point and offer decent performance alongside.

Samsung is the only Android vendor, which shares almost every new flagship feature with older models through firmware updates. So far, the company rolled out a lot of new Galaxy S23 features to Galaxy S22, S21, and even the S20 series while enhanced camera animation is coming too.
According to the latest info, Samsung will roll out enhanced camera zoom animation from the Galaxy S23 smartphones to the Galaxy S22 series. As of now, there’s no such information regarding the distribution, however, it could happen in the near future.

Samsung community moderator and in-charge of Camera operations confirmed that the Galaxy S23 will be supported for Galaxy S23’s smooth camera zoom animation. Before the rollout, the company will notify users about the schedule through a community post.
In particular, the Galaxy S Ultra models are equipped with quad camera sensors, which the phone uses as per zoom adjustments. In the latest S23 Ultra, the sensor-shift animation is way too smooth compared to its predecessors, which will be coming to the S22 series, at least.

It looks like Samsung’s Galaxy S series is the victim of the terrible green and/or pink lines issue. Consumers of Galaxy S20 Plus are already facing the problem and now it’s popping up on its predecessor. Following the May update installation, some Galaxy S21 users reported green/pink lines problems.
According to user reports, their Galaxy S21 series smartphones have also become the victim of the green/pink lines issue, which appeared on the Galaxy S20 lineup. And even those annoying display lines have appeared without any kind of drop or external damage/water insertion.

Samsung released the Galaxy S21 in early 2021, and the lineup has completed two years of launch at this point. As the devices got out of warranty, it becomes a pricey concern to get the screen replaced, as it could cost approx $300 in the United States.
Consumers say that they first noticed a single colored line on the screen, which further expanded with the second colored line. As Samsung consumers are aware of the display problem, they are not making efforts to solve it through a firmware update, as it’s not a solution at all.
The Galaxy S21 series models are quite expensive and Samsung should acknowledge the problem. A free screen replacement program should be opened for Galaxy users where they can reach and get their phones checked. If found it manufacturer defect, the screen should be replaced free of cost.
