According to a report by the Android Authority website, a research team from Group-IB, an expert company developing cybersecurity solutions, has detected a malware type that remotely controls the victim's machine, or a RAT (Remote Access Trojan) called RedHook, where hackers send download links via text messages, email, social media, or even by telling them links via phone calls, claiming to be from a well-known organization to deceive the victim. Hackers try to convince the victim to download the APK installation file through such a link that the page looks like the official app store. Google Play Store, but literally it's not.

After the victim has downloaded and installed the file successfully, the application will deceive the Permission to access the disabled user or Accessibility Mode, claiming that there is a need for the application operation. After the victim has completed the authorization, the malware will activate the Wireless ADB feature through Developer Mode to access Shell Access (UID 2000). This results in the malware being able to access the victim's machine completely and capture important information through Keystroke, streaming. The screen returns to the hacker (Screen Streaming) and controls the lock of the screen. All the stolen data leads to the theft of money in the bank account from the bank application installed on the machine.

The research team also revealed that the malware that the team detected was a new version developed from the original version that was detected last year by another cybersecurity firm, Cyble. This version is so much more malicious that removing the malware from the machine is so difficult that it is almost impossible to use techniques such as WakeLock to trick the machine into running all the time, Kill Android, the process of malware, and sometimes malware can pretend that the screen is not locked by booking a small 1x1 px screen that is so smooth. There is also a process resurrection mechanism that has two processes. When one of them is shut down, the other process will immediately resurrect the one that has been shut down.

This malware is in Vietnam and is already spreading to Indonesia.
