Android espionage platform Mandrake, which started its activities in 2016 and was first discovered in 2020 by Bitdefender, is back. It has evolved into a stronger version of itself that can evade Google Play checks, making detection harder.According to the cybersecurity company, five apps that were available on Google Play from 2022 to 2024 contained the new version of Malware.
AirFS, which was downloaded the most number of times, masqueraded as a file-sharing app, but users complained it did not work and stole their data. Like the earlier versions, the new Mandrake platform works in three stages. It only tries to infect victims when a target is deemed relevant. This is decided on the strength of the data. To get you to install a new app, Mandrake sends notifications that look like they came from Google Play. With, the Restricted Settings feature was introduced to prevent sideloaded apps from requesting dangerous permission directly, but Mandrake is capable of bypassing it.
