ClayRat Android Spyware Expands Capabilities, Raising Security Concerns
Cybersecurity researchers have identified a new iteration of the ClayRat Android spyware, which now features expanded surveillance and device-control functions. Initially discovered in October, ClayRat was capable of stealing SMS messages, call logs, and photos. The latest version introduces broader capabilities, including keylogging, full screen recording, and automated actions that enable near-total control of an infected device. The spyware exploits Accessibility Services to bypass security measures and collect sensitive information. Distributed through phishing sites and platforms like Dropbox, ClayRat poses a significant risk to enterprises, particularly in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environments.
