Android smartphone owners are under attack from a pair of malicious chat apps that are being used to install the GravityRAT malware on vulnerable devices.
The campaign spreading this updated version of GravityRAT was discovered by security researchers at ESET who detailed their findings in a new report. However, as BleepingComputer points out, GravityRAT has been active since at least 2015 as a remote access tool but hackers only began using it to target the best Android phones back in 2020.
