In an unexpected career pivot, WhatsApp has decided to diversify into financial services by inadvertently hosting a charming new malware phenomenon called ‘Maverick.’ Forget about peer-to-peer payments; this innovative strategy involves playing the role of both matchmaker and middleman between unsuspecting users and the latest cyber threats.

Just when the Coyote malware thought it was the reigning champion of banking mayhem, in swoops Maverick, presumably dressed in a tuxedo and sunglasses, ready to unsettle the comfortable lives of Brazilian internet banking users. Written in the universally beloved coding language of .NET, Maverick is determined to prove its worth by acing browser hijacking and decrypting credentials like it’s trying to impress a particularly snooty antivirus software.

While Brazilian banks are bustling to fend off these uninvited guests, Maverick and Coyote continue their escapades, charmingly impersonating legitimate entities with the grace of a llama at a masquerade ball. Despite their best efforts to pretend nothing unusual is happening, the buzz in cybersecurity circles suggests that these malware are already in talks for their very own reality show on the Cyber Channel, tentatively titled ‘Bank Busters: The Malware Chronicles’.
