Spyware that pretends to be an antivirus

LunaSpy is a mobile spyware targeting Android devices, distributed via messaging platforms under the guise of antivirus or banking protection apps. It imitates legitimate security software to trick users into granting extensive permissions, enabling it to steal passwords, record audio and video, read texts and call logs, track geolocation, run shell commands, and exfiltrate data to numerous command-and-control servers.
