Manic: Blend between Banking Malware & Spyware
Brief
ThreatFabric's Mobile Threat Intelligence (MTI) Team has identified a new Android threat actively distributed in the wild.
The modern mobile threat landscape includes numerous malware families operated by individual threat actors and organised criminal groups, all competing for ways to infect victims as smoothly and inconspicuously as possible. Manic sits at the intersection of Android banking malware and mobile spyware , combining financial-fraud capabilities with broader surveillance and device-control features.
Its targeting is strongly focused on Ukraine , covering Ukrainian banks, government and identity services, and messaging applications, while also extending to Russian and European financial institutions, global fintech and cryptocurrency services, and military-focused communications.
