PJobRAT strikes again! This sneaky Android malware is back with a vengeance, targeting users in Taiwan by masquerading as chat apps. Once in, it can steal data, root devices, and even uninstall itself like a digital ninja. Remember, downloading apps from official stores isn’t just smart—it’s your first line of defense.

  • Initially targeting Indian military, latest campaigns focused on Taiwan with enhanced capabilities.
  • Command-and-control communications use Firebase Cloud Messaging and HTTP to exfiltrate data.
