Once found, it will bring you a popup login page similar to the login page of your banking app. After you complete the form with your bank account login data, it reaches the hacker.
Solution: Avoid entering login data into a popup window. The phone App Manager occasionally check if there are any unfamiliar apps. Be careful before entering an external link, because clicking on such a link may install malware created by hackers on your phone.
