Chameleon's Spectacular Color Display Before Death

A rare Madagascan chameleon, known for its extremely short lifespan of four to five months, was captured in a PBS documentary displaying vibrant, pulsating colors just moments before her death, a phenomenon never before observed in the wild. The reptile's still-firing nervous system is believed to cause the chaotic technicolor patterns during its last moments. Female Labord chameleons die shortly after laying their eggs, expending their last energy to bury them in the sand to protect them from the approaching dry season, while the males live just as long as the females, leaving the next generation vulnerable.

"Chameleon's Spectacular Color Display in Final Moments Stuns Onlookers"

In new footage, a Labord's chameleon in Madagascar erupts in stunning colors in its final moments before death, captured by time-lapse photography. The chameleon's skin changes color dramatically as it lays eggs and dies within hours, a survival strategy seen in other species. This extreme programmed death occurs as the reptiles have few resources left after laying eggs, and the entire population spends two-thirds of the year in eggs buried underground.

"Chameleon Android Trojan: Stealing PINs by Bypassing Biometric Authentication"

A new variant of the Android banking malware called Chameleon has been discovered, expanding its targeting to users in the U.K. and Italy. This evolved version of Chameleon excels in executing Device Takeover (DTO) using the accessibility service and is now being delivered via Zombinder, a dropper-as-a-service. The malware masquerades as the Google Chrome web browser and tricks users into enabling the accessibility service by checking the Android version on the device. It also disrupts biometric operations by transitioning the lock screen authentication mechanism to a PIN, allowing the malware to unlock the device at will. This development highlights the sophisticated and adaptive nature of the Android threat landscape.
