Millions of smart phone users in the country are facing the threat of such a dangerous mobile virus that the country's top crime investigative agency, the CBI, has had to issue an alert.

Police and legal entities in all the states have been asked by the CBI to keep abreast of the virus. The CBI said in a statement that it had received an alert from Interpol regarding a caliber named Cerberus. Which hackers have floated to take advantage of the Corona epidemic.

The virus is sent with a bogus message claiming to give mobile users more information about the Corona virus. Unaware of the hackers' move, mobile users, if they click on the link sent in the SMS, install the virus along with the link and send all the information in the phone, especially credit card and debit card details, to a remote server.

At the same time, the personal details of the users can also be hacked by the virus.
