This dangerous Android malware is seeing a huge rise in infections

An updated version of the SpyNote Android malware is being deployed at high speeds, researchers have claimed.

SpyNote (also known as SpyMax) was an Android malware whose latest version, called CypherRat, was being distributed exclusively through private Telegram channels, for a price. The tool offered a wide variety of features, including remote access, GPS tracking, and device status and activity updates, but also account theft for banking apps.
