Security researchers discovered a new campaign that distributes a new version of the Xenomorph malware to Android users in the United States, Canada, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Belgium.
In December 2022, the same analysts reported about a new malware distribution platform dubbed "Zombinder," which embedded the threat into legitimate Android apps' APK file.
In the latest campaign, the malware operators opted to use phishing pages, luring visitors to update their Chrome browser and trick them into downloading the malicious APK. The malware continues to use overlays to steal information.
Although the new Xenomorph samples aren't vastly different from previous variants, they come with some new features indicating that its authors continue to refine and enhance the malware.
There, they discovered additional malicious payloads, including the Android malware variants Medusa and Cabassous, the Windows information stealers RisePro and LummaC2, and the Private Loader malware loader.
