McAfee has identified a new Android malware named SpyAgent that can extract private keys from screenshots and images stored on a smartphone. The malware utilizes optical character recognition (OCR) to scan images and extract text. It is distributed through malicious links sent via text messages. Once a user clicks on the link, they are redirected to a fake website prompting them to download a seemingly trustworthy application, which is actually the SpyAgent malware. This malware disguises itself as banking apps, government applications, and streaming services. Currently targeting South Korean users, over 280 fraudulent apps have been identified. Similar malware affecting MacOS called 'Cthulhu Stealer' has also been discovered, stealing personal information. Additionally, a North Korean hacker group exploited a vulnerability in Google Chrome to steal private keys from users. The FBI has issued a warning about this group due to the frequency of malware attacks. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
