GhostSpy RAT: The Advanced Android Spyware Threatening Your Privacy in 2025

GhostSpy is a sophisticated Android Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that infiltrates devices using a two-stage dropper, exploiting Accessibility Services to install itself automatically and gain elevated privileges without the user's knowledge.


Once activated, GhostSpy transforms into a comprehensive surveillance tool, capable of:
- Silent Data Theft: Stealing contacts, SMS messages, call logs, files, and two-factor authentication (2FA) tokens.
- Screen and Audio Capture: Recording activity, even within secure banking applications, by reconstructing user interface elements.
- Camera and Microphone Activation: Tracking GPS in real-time.
- Remote Commands: Executing actions such as wiping the entire device using Device Admin rights.


Stealth and Persistence
GhostSpy evades detection and removal by:
- Hiding from app lists.
- Blocking uninstallation attempts with deceptive system overlays.
- Automatically granting itself permissions through simulated taps.
Real-World Impact
According to CYFIRMA, GhostSpy specifically targets banking information and 2FA, circumventing screenshot protections to steal credentials effectively.
