Compromised Apps

Compromised Apps

Malicious software or malware is usually hidden in mobile apps and made available on third-party sites with less secured screening. You can make a compromised app from scratch or use readily available hacking apps.

2

Phishing

Phishing

Phishing is a commonly used hacking tactic wherein malware is embedded on a webpage. The page’s link is then sent via email or text message, which when clicked creates a gateway to the cellphone or device. Phishing messages may also be used as lures into downloading infected mobile apps.

False Advertisements

False Advertisements

False online ads are usually in the form of pop-ups on websites or social media platforms. Malicious advertising or malvertising is more common when targeting computers, but Android phones have been targeted as well.

Trojan via Kali Linux

Trojan via Kali Linux

You can create a Trojan.apk through Kali Linux which could result in an Upgrader App. This is meant to lure phone users into voluntarily downloading due to the promise of feature upgrades.

5

Cloak and Dagger Attack

Cloak and Dagger Attack

The process utilizes mismatched permissions allowing the hacker to penetrate a phone’s operating system in plain sight. It abuses the system_alert_window and bind_accessibility_service permissions which allow the hacker to capture passwords, PINs, 2FA codes, unlock phone screens, and ultimately obtain all other permissions.

6

Keylogger Software

Keylogger Software

Such software, operating in stealth mode, captures everything that’s typed on the phone’s keyboard, including login credentials. It can also be remotely installed.

7

Spy Apps

Spy Apps

An Android spy app is by far the most convenient way to hack any compatible phone. Once downloaded on the target device, the hacker will gain access to all sorts of information as the spy app runs on stealth mode.
