Initially it targeted only a few countries like America, Russia and Spain, although in July 2022 India also came in the list. Let us tell you that the latest version of SOVA Virus sneaks into the account of mobile users by hiding in a fake Android app. These apps have the logo of popular apps like Chrome, Amazon, NFT, due to which users get misled and download these apps.
