Security researchers recently came across a new version of the Vultur trojan posing as McAfee Security app on Android devices, eventually allowing hackers to take over your phone.
Security researchers at McAfee have discovered a new variant of the infamous XLoader malware that can automatically run itself and steal sensitive information from Android devices.
Dubbed 'Chameleon Trojan', the malware uses the 'Accessibility service' on Android devices to disable fingerprint and face unlock and even tracks the user's app usage habits so it can run when the device is not in use.
Researchers suggest threat actors are using unsupported or heavily modified compression techniques to pack malware in regular APKs and evading detection by security softwares.
CherryBlos malware was discovered in April this year and is known to disguise itself under app names like GPTalk, HappyMiner and SynthNet.
