INFAMOUSCHISEL

INFAMOUSCHISEL is Android malware publicly reported as used by APT44, also known as Sandworm and FROZENBARENTS, a threat actor attributed by multiple governments to GRU Unit 74455. The malware is designed to collect information from Android devices, including system device information, commercial application information, and data from Ukrainian military applications, including battlefield management apps. Reporting in the provided content links its use to Russian cyber operations supporting military objectives in Ukraine, including targeting the personal devices of military personnel and attempts to steal information relevant to battlefield operations. The content also places INFAMOUSCHISEL alongside APT44 activity targeting secure messaging and battlefield-related data, and notes its use to steal information from Android devices in campaigns affecting Ukrainian military users.
