SpyAgent, a newly discovered Android malware, leverages OCR technology to extract cryptocurrency recovery phrases from screenshots stored on infected devices. By stealthily capturing screenshots, the malware bypasses traditional security measures that rely on text-based detection, which allows it to efficiently identify and exfiltrate sensitive information, posing a significant threat to cryptocurrency users. Cybercriminals are employing a phishing tactic to steal cryptocurrency.
