android spyware

A highly advanced Android spyware operation has surfaced, posing as the official app of the Chinese Prosecutor’s Office. Dubbed SpyMax, this malware is part of the SpyNote family and is capable of hijacking nearly every aspect of an Android device—using deceptive UI tactics and exploiting accessibility services.

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a dangerous new Android spyware app that uses password protection and Android overlay tricks to stay hidden and prevent uninstallation. Installed by someone with physical access, this app secretly spies on the victim while making it very hard to remove.
