Cybersecurity researchers have identified a new sophisticated Android malware called 'Wpeeper' that infiltrates systems through repackaged applications on third-party platforms, evading antivirus detection. The Trojan, distributed through compromised WordPress sites, encrypts its communication with AES, supports various malicious functions, and abruptly halted activities, possibly hinting at a larger scheme. This backdoor Trojan has extensive capabilities like collecting data, managing files, and executing arbitrary commands, using encryption to protect its network traffic
Despite a temporary pause in its campaign, the threat persists as the malware continues to avoid detection by security firms, underscoring the need for ongoing vigilance and collaboration within the cybersecurity community to combat such advanced threats.https://cybersecuritynews.com/beware-new-android-trojan/
