Researchers warn of RatHat, an Android malware linked to Chinese actors that uses AI to navigate the device in real time, overlay apps, and capture credentials. It tricks users into installing a fake legitimate app, requests accessibility permissions, enables Wireless Debugging, and records touch inputs to steal passwords and MFA codes. Infections occur via social engineering, and the only way to remove it is a factory reset.
A new vulnerability in iOS allows hackers to spy on iPhone users through a third-party keyboard featuring a keylogger. By disguising the keylogger in a small app and using Apple's TestFlight tool, hackers can bypass Apple's security checks and trick users into downloading the malicious app. The custom keyboard looks virtually identical to the iPhone's default keyboard, making it difficult to detect. To protect against this threat, users should regularly check their keyboard settings, avoid downloading apps from unknown sources, be cautious when using TestFlight, update their iOS, and have antivirus software installed. If victimized, users should change passwords, monitor accounts, contact banks and credit card companies, alert contacts, restore devices to factory settings, and consider using identity theft protection services.
