What happened
A Mirax Android banking trojan campaign uses streaming app lures for distribution, giving operators remote control of victim devices and the ability to initiate fraudulent transfers. Group-IB's investigation, published November 5, estimates losses in the millions of dollars, while confirmed cases capture only part of the impact. The operation was still active at publication. The article does not give CVEs, affected versions or indicators, so defenders should review Android devices for sideloaded streaming apps and monitor for unexpected remote-access activity and unauthorised transfers.
