Massive Privacy Breach: Popular Apps on Google Play Store Sending Personal Data to China

Two file management apps on the Google Play Store, File Recovery and Data Recovery, have been found to be spyware, secretly sending sensitive user data to malicious servers in China. Developed by the same group, these apps engage in deceptive behavior and collect personal information without users' knowledge. The stolen data includes contact lists, media files, location, and device details. The spyware apps have advanced permissions to hide their icons and are difficult to uninstall. Users are advised to be cautious when downloading apps and read app permissions carefully. Organizations should educate employees about mobile threats and implement automated mobile detection and response systems.

Kaspersky has discovered a spyware implant called TriangleDB that is delivered to iOS devices via zero-click exploits as part of a campaign called Operation Triangulation. The malware has a lifespan of 30 days and is automatically uninstalled unless the attackers extend the time period. The implant is deployed after the attackers obtain root privileges on the target iOS device by exploiting a kernel vulnerability. The spyware gives complete control over the device and user data, including file contents, geolocation, installed iOS applications, and running processes. It's currently not known who is behind the campaign and what their ultimate objectives are.
