SpyLoan is malware often hidden in apps that promise instant loans.

These apps reel people in with offers of quick, hassle-free loans, boasting low rates and hardly any requirements.

While they might look legit at first glance, their real goal is to gather as much personal info as they can.

Once they have it, they use it to harass or pressure users into paying ridiculous interest rates.

It can be tempting to use apps that promise instant loans, especially when you need the money.

But they're often just trying to scam you and push you into a never-ending debt cycle.

If you need a loan, go to a trusted bank or lender. Check reviews, verify their credentials, or consult a financial advisor before committing.
