Terrifying Android ‘spy app’ hides itself on your phone and records screen

Cybersecurity experts have identified a mobile spyware application called LianSpy, which targets Android smartphones by stealing confidential data and monitoring user activities while concealing itself on the home screen. Discovered in March 2024, LianSpy has been operational for at least three years, primarily affecting users in Russia but potentially impacting Android users globally. It requires user interaction for full activation, requesting permissions under the guise of legitimate applications. LianSpy can operate with root privileges, allowing it to bypass notifications about microphone or camera usage. Signs of infection on Android devices include being signed out of accounts, persistent pop-up ads, alerts about viruses, decreased device speed, and unexpected changes to browser settings. Users are advised to conduct regular spyware sweeps and keep their operating systems updated to mitigate risks.
