Bitdefender Labs, a company specializing in software security research, has revealed details about new malware targeting Android devices. According to experts, it behaves somewhat differently from most common threats, as it does not attack all devices. Instead, the virus selects users from whom it can acquire the most useful data.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The malware developers have restricted it from attacking users in certain regions, including countries that were formerly part of the Soviet Union, Africa, and the Middle East. Australia appears to be the primary target of the hackers, according to the research. A substantial number of devices in the USA, Canada, and some European countries have also been infected.<\/p>\n

The malware was first discovered by specialists early this year, although it began spreading back in 2016, and it is estimated that during this period it has infected the devices of hundreds of thousands of users. Since the beginning of this year, the malware has already affected tens of thousands of devices.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The reason the virus remained unnoticed in Google Play for such a long time is that the malicious code is not actually embedded in the applications; rather, it uses a process that activates the spying functionalities only upon direct instruction, and the hackers behind this do not enable these features during Google\u2019s testing. However, once the malicious code is activated, the application can retrieve almost any data from the device, including information necessary for logging into websites and applications.<\/p>\n

Bogdan Botezatu, the Director of Threat Research and Reporting at Bitdefender, described Mandrake as one of the most powerful pieces of malware for Android. Its ultimate goal is to gain full control over the device and compromise user accounts.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

To remain unnoticed for many years, Mandrake was distributed through various applications on Google Play, published under different developer names. The applications used for spreading malware are also relatively well-supported to maintain the illusion that these programs can be trusted. Developers often respond to reviews, and many applications have support pages on social media. Interestingly, the applications completely erase themselves from the device as soon as they obtain all the necessary data.<\/p>\n

Google has not commented on the current situation, and it is quite possible that the threat is still active. The best way to avoid Mandrake infection is to install time-tested applications from reputable developers.<\/p>\n
