This is called “Gustuff” found by Cybersecurity firm Group-IB. This malware is recently launched and so you will not get its enough history. So be careful of “Gustuff”. Don’t open any suspicious link which you get via SMS.

Gustuff is said to come with a raft of “web fakes” that mimick apps to phish for sensitive data (like usernames and passwords) from unsuspecting users, who are tricked into using Gustuff’s versions instead.
