Androd Users Beware! Hackers target Android users wit fake Shagle video-chat app

[Bitstar_coin]

The StrongPity APT hacking group is distributing a fake Shagle chat app that is a trojanized version of the Telegram for Android app with an added backdoor.

StrongPity has been found using a fake website since 2021 that impersonates the actual Shagle site to trick victims into downloading a malicious Android.

Once installed, this app enables the hackers to conduct espionage on the targeted victims, including monitoring phone calls, collecting SMS texts, and grabbing contact lists.

Android users mostly should be aware of this very vital information and avoid installing apps from unknown sources especially downloading apk version of the app.

Thank you for the alert.

These spying or phishing applications have become very common on the Internet, where the hacker creates a fake application similar to one of the well-known applications (chat - wallets ...) that contains malicious programs or Trojans that steal sensitive data.

I don't know if this StrongPity is only spying on phone calls, text messages and contact lists or is it also stealing sensitive data such as passwords and hacking wallets?

But regardless, users should not install any software from unknown sources, and it is also necessary to keep your anti-virus software up-to-date. It is also necessary not to keep any sensitive data such as passwords, seeds, etc. on the mobile.
