Python-based worm hacking WhatsApp across devices in Brazil, what it tells about software development in South America

A sophisticated malware campaign is exploiting WhatsApp in Brazil to spread the Eternidade Stealer banking trojan. Attackers use social engineering and automated messages to steal financial credentials and personal data. The malware targets Brazilian users specifically, but has been detected in connection attempts from 38 countries, including the United States. Defenders are urged to monitor for suspicious WhatsApp activity and script executions.
