Attackers using Predator spyware to record audio, hide apps and more
By MYBRANDBOOK
Google has claimed that Predator is relatively a new spyware and has been created by surveillance company Cytrox, which is based in North Macedonia. The attackers delivered one-time links similar to URLs created by URL shortener services via email.
When the user is directed to the attacker’s website, an Android malware dubbed ALIEN is installed on their device which then loads Predator on the device. The spyware is capable of recording audio, hiding apps and adding CA certificates.
Google highlighted that the spyware was installed by state-backed attackers in three separate campaigns by exploiting five zero-day vulnerabilities. A zero-day vulnerability is a vulnerability that has been disclosed but it is not yet patched. An attack that exploits zero-day vulnerability is known as a zero-day exploit.
Google has revealed that Predator spyware has been purchased by countries like Egypt, Armenia, Greece, Madagascar, Spain, and Indonesia among others. The company said that similar techniques have been used in the past against journalists and other victims.
