0x40k<p>Seriously, what *is* going on with the Play Store these days?! 🤯 Clients constantly ask me if the apps are actually secure... and tools like PlayPraetor? They're basically screaming NOPE!</p><p>You wouldn't believe the junk floating around. Fake apps are out there just harvesting your data. Think banking trojans, sneaky PWAs set up for phishing, Remote Access Trojans (RATs) – you name it, it's probably there. An absolute nightmare! 😠</p><p>Wondering about PWAs? They're essentially websites packaged as apps, which makes them a prime vector for phishing scams. And RATs? Those give attackers *complete* control over your device. Seriously nasty stuff! Then there's Phantom malware leveraging Accessibility Services to watch everything you do... It's intense!</p><p>Actually, this takes me back to a recent pentest where we nearly overlooked a very convincing PWA phishing page. Thinking automated scans will catch everything? Yeah, don't count on it. 🙈</p><p>So, how can you shield yourself from this mess?<br>1. Stick strictly to official app stores!<br>2. Do your homework on the developers – vet them!<br>3. Always check app permissions *before* installing! What do they *really* need access to?<br>4. Make sure you've got solid mobile security installed!</p><p>Have you ever stumbled upon a fake app?

0x40k<p>Whoa, things are heating up again in the Android world... Watch out for "Crocodilus," a nasty new banking trojan that's currently zeroing in on folks in Spain and Turkey. 🐊 Now, it might sound like your standard-issue malware at first, but this one's got some particularly devious tricks. It's not *just* snagging login details – it's also after the seed phrases for crypto wallets. 🤯</p><p>Here’s the kicker: it disguises itself as Google Chrome and tries to trick you into granting Accessibility Services permissions. If you give it that access, you've basically handed over the keys to your device. Seriously, it can then read everything on your screen, see every tap you make... and you wouldn't even know, because it can black out the screen while it does its dirty work. 🙈 Total stealth mode.</p><p>As someone in penetration testing, I unfortunately run into this kind of threat all too often. Clients sometimes say, "But I have antivirus software!" The hard truth? Against sophisticated attacks like this, basic AV often won't cut it.</p><p>So, the usual advice is more critical than ever: Be super careful about the apps you install and *always* double-check the permissions they ask for! And please, use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) wherever you can! 🔐</p><p>I'm curious – what security measures do you have running on your smartphone?

0x40k<p>PJobRAT... Seriously, *again*? 🙄 Looks like there's *another* piece of Android malware making the rounds, and this time it's specifically targeting folks in Taiwan.</p><p>Here’s the deal: it cleverly poses as a chat app. But behind the scenes? It’s busy snatching your SMS messages, contact lists, and even files. Yeah, it’s the classic playbook we've seen before.</p><p>Still, you know what they say – better safe than sorry, right? So, *please*, take a really close look at those app permissions before you grant anything. Don't just click 'accept'!</p><p>Speaking of staying safe, what are your go-to security tricks for your smartphone?

0x40k<p>.NET MAUI for Android Malware? 😳 Sounds like serious geek-speak, I know, but this is *really* dangerous. We're talking fake banking apps, stolen data… the whole nine yards.</p><p>Here's the deal: Crooks are now leveraging Microsoft's .NET MAUI framework to conceal malicious code. So, the apps *look* totally legit, but they're actually nasty data-snatchers. 👿</p><p>As a pentester, I'm urging you: Stay alert! 👀 Seriously, only download apps from the official store, steer clear of suspicious links, and double-check those app permissions. Another pro tip? Get an MTD scanner installed!</p><p>What are your thoughts, though? Do you think Android's built-in security features are cutting it these days? 🤔</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AndroidSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AndroidSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Malware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malware</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InfoSec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MobileSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MobileSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a></p>
