ChainCatcher News, hackers launched an Android malware attack in Brazil by using phishing pages that mimic the Google Play Store. Currently, all known victims are located in Brazil. The attackers created phishing websites highly similar to Google Play, luring users to download a fake app called "INSS Reembolso." After installation, the app releases hidden malicious code in stages and loads it directly into memory for execution, leaving no visible files on the device and exhibiting strong stealth. One of the core functions of the malware is cryptocurrency mining, with a built-in XMRig mining program compiled for ARM devices, which silently connects to mining servers controlled by the attackers in the background. The program monitors battery level, temperature, and device usage status, dynamically adjusting mining behavior to evade detection, and bypasses Android's background process management mechanism by continuously playing silent audio files. Some variants also include banking trojans, which overlay fake pages on the USDT transfer interface of certain exchanges and Trust Wallet, silently replacing the recipient address. Additionally, the malware supports multiple remote control commands, including recording audio, taking screenshots, keylogging, and remotely locking the device.
