New Hacking Software Steals Private Keys from Smartphone Screenshots
A McAfee Labs specialist explained that the malware is distributed via malicious links that come in text messages to owners of smartphones running the Android operating system.
The potential victim follows the link to a phishing site, where they are asked to download SpyAgent, which disguises itself as banking applications or streaming services. After installing the malware, users are asked to grant the application access to contacts, messages, and local storage, from where confidential data is subsequently stolen.
