Cybersecurity experts found a new Android spyware, RadzaRat, disguised as a file manager app. It grants hackers full control over devices, including keylogging capabilities, and is undetectable by antivirus programs. The malware is easily accessible online and can be deployed by anyone with basic skills.

A report from Zscaler reveals that over 239 malicious Android apps were downloaded 42 million times from Google Play between June 2024 and May 2025. The rise in malware includes banking trojans and spyware, with a notable shift towards social engineering tactics. India, the U.S., and Canada are the top targets, while adware has become the most detected threat.

Fake TikTok and WhatsApp apps have surfaced on Android, posing as legitimate applications but actually containing Clayrat spyware. Users who download these apps risk their personal data being compromised, as the spyware can capture sensitive information and track activities. It is crucial for users to be vigilant and verify app authenticity before installation.
