A concerning trend in mobile security shows that malicious applications and spyware are increasingly targeting Android users. Adware, particularly the Android.HiddenAds family, remains the most prevalent threat, despite a decrease in detections. The Android.MobiDash adware trojans have increased by over 11%. The Android.FakeApp malware, which disguises itself as legitimate applications, has seen a 25% decline in activity, primarily targeting Turkish and French-speaking users. The Android.Banker variant has surged by over 70%, indicating a rise in banking trojans. A large-scale crypto theft operation involved the Android.Clipper.31 trojan embedded in a modified WhatsApp version and low-cost Android firmware, which replaces cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Spyware named Android.Spy.1292.origin targets Russian military personnel through a counterfeit mapping application. Malicious applications continue to be found on Google Play, including adware disguised as cryptocurrency news apps and fake finance applications. The open nature of Android poses ongoing cybersecurity risks, even within official app stores.

Cybercriminals are using legitimate software installer frameworks like Inno Setup to distribute malware, taking advantage of its trusted appearance and scripting capabilities. A recent campaign demonstrated how a malicious Inno Setup installer can deliver information-stealing malware, such as RedLine Stealer, through a multi-stage infection process. This process includes evasion techniques like detecting debuggers and sandbox environments, using XOR encryption to obscure strings, and conducting WMI queries to identify malware analysis tools. The installer retrieves a payload from a command-and-control server via a TinyURL link and creates a scheduled task for persistence. The payload employs DLL sideloading to load HijackLoader, which ultimately injects RedLine Stealer into a legitimate process to steal sensitive information. RedLine Stealer uses obfuscation techniques and disables security features in browsers to avoid detection. The Splunk Threat Research Team has developed detection methods focusing on indicators such as unsigned DLL sideloading and suspicious browser behaviors. Indicators of Compromise (IOC): - Malicious Inno Setup Loader Hash 1: 0d5311014c66423261d1069fda108dab33673bd68d697e22adb096db05d851b7 - Malicious Inno Setup Loader Hash 2: 0ee63776197a80de42e164314cea55453aa24d8eabca0b481f778eba7215c160 - Malicious Inno Setup Loader Hash 3: 12876f134bde914fe87b7abb8e6b0727b2ffe9e9334797b7dcbaa1c1ac612ed6 - Malicious Inno Setup Loader Hash 4: 8f55ad8c8dec23576097595d2789c9d53c92a6575e5e53bfbc51699d52d0d30a

In years past, I relied on a Pomodoro timer to keep my mind engaged, but I never found an app that enticed me to use it. Fomodoro is that app.Perhaps I appreciate its use of Material Design elements, making it look and feel like a part of Android.

Price: Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99 Developer: Exptional Global I’m not going to pretend that Marvel Mystic Mayhem is my kind of game, but there are plenty of things I really like about this new title. For one, the cutscenes resemble comic book pages with striking visuals. There are plenty of heroes to play as (and battle against), from the Hulk to Scarlet Witch.The game is a team-based auto-battler. Each character’s list of attacks is triggered by swiping on a card. The gameplay can feel nebulous, and I never found tactics to play all that big of a role. Nevertheless, some Marvel fans and those who enjoy the game’s RPG elements will get a kick out of it. Mur Launcher This new Android launcher takes a leaf from Windows Phone’s playbook. Price: Free, in-app purchases from $0.99 Developer: Incendiary Pigs I’m a simple man: I see a promising new launcher, I include it on this list. Mur Launcher is the latest to pique my interest, and that’s all down to its unique concept.The developer is heavily inspired by Windows Phone, especially Metro UI, which really comes through in the launcher’s tile-like aesthetic. The big difference is that these tiles can include multiple elements, from live information, widgets, and simple icons.I gave it a whirl for a day, and while I do see the potential in the concept, the app isn’t quite ready for prime time. It only just rolled out its open beta, so there’s a long road still to go, and I’m eager to revisit it in a few months. Phantom Tower Why do we climb the tower? I’m not sure, but we do. Price: Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99 Developer: Horien Studio Phantom Tower is a rather cute but frantic roguelike that sees the protagonist slowly ascending a 100-floor tower by defeating waves of enemies. The game includes RPG elements, so expect resource collection, gear mods to boost base stats, and various power-ups called glyphs.As you can probably imagine (and see for yourself with the trailer above), gameplay is fast-paced, but attacks feel weighty, and enemies can be genuinely terrifying when they swarm you.It’s certainly a fun game to pass the time, and thanks to its relatively low asking price, it’s not too demanding on the wallet, either. SEGA’s Classic free titles They’re SEGA classics. They’re free. What more do you want? Price: Free Developer: SEGA Nick Fernandez / Android AuthorityThis month’s last title isn’t a new Android game nor a single title. However, it’s something that you’ll want to grab for your phone before it’s too late. A list of nine retro SEGA titles is currently free to download, and probably won’t be available on the Play Store for much longer. They’re being discontinued in the coming weeks.I’ve snagged and tucked them safely in my Play Store library.

This team-based auto-battler allows players to trigger attacks through card swipes, although the gameplay may require some adaptation for those accustomed to more tactical approaches.

One of my interests is uncovering and testing new Android apps and games, and each month for the past few years, I’ve detailed the best new products you should try. The July edition includes my new favorite productivity app, yet another unique Android launcher, and a new Marvel game for superhero fans.Let’s jump right in. Here are the best new Android apps and games you should try in July 2025. What is your favorite new Android app or game this month?8 votesFomodoro50%Marvel Mystic Mayhem0%Mur Launcher25%Phantom Tower13%One of SEGA's retro titles13%Another app or game (mention them in the comments section).0%Fomodoro A clean, Material-inspired interval timer to bolster your productivity. Price: Free Developer: Arijit-05 I’m constantly battling to refine and maximize my work life. In years past, I relied on a Pomodoro timer to keep my mind engaged, but I never found an app that enticed me to use it. Fomodoro is that app.Perhaps I appreciate its use of Material Design elements, making it look and feel like a part of Android. The timer itself packs in all the Pomodoro items you might need, including adjustments for setting focus and break lengths. A stats section also outlines streak lengths and other motivational productivity details. Marvel Mystic Mayhem Marvel fans, assemble! Price: Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99 Developer: Exptional Global I’m not going to pretend that Marvel Mystic Mayhem is my kind of game, but there are plenty of things I really like about this new title. For one, the cutscenes resemble comic book pages with striking visuals. There are plenty of heroes to play as (and battle against), from the Hulk to Scarlet Witch.The game is a team-based auto-battler. Each character’s list of attacks is triggered by swiping on a card. The gameplay can feel nebulous, and I never found tactics to play all that big of a role. Nevertheless, some Marvel fans and those who enjoy the game’s RPG elements will get a kick out of it. Mur Launcher This new Android launcher takes a leaf from Windows Phone’s playbook. Price: Free, in-app purchases from $0.99 Developer: Incendiary Pigs I’m a simple man: I see a promising new launcher, I include it on this list. Mur Launcher is the latest to pique my interest, and that’s all down to its unique concept.The developer is heavily inspired by Windows Phone, especially Metro UI, which really comes through in the launcher’s tile-like aesthetic. The big difference is that these tiles can include multiple elements, from live information, widgets, and simple icons.I gave it a whirl for a day, and while I do see the potential in the concept, the app isn’t quite ready for prime time. It only just rolled out its open beta, so there’s a long road still to go, and I’m eager to revisit it in a few months. Phantom Tower Why do we climb the tower? I’m not sure, but we do.

Cyber criminals are targeting Minecraft's player base, particularly the 65% of players under 21, who are often less aware of cyber threats. A recent report from Check Point reveals a sophisticated malware campaign that embeds malicious software in counterfeit Minecraft mods shared on platforms like GitHub. This malware operates in stages, starting with a Java downloader, followed by a stealer, and an advanced tool to harvest sensitive information such as passwords and cryptocurrency wallet details. The campaign is linked to Russian-speaking attackers and uses a distribution-as-a-service model to spread malicious links. Disguised as legitimate cheat tools, these files install additional malware on users' devices, capturing credentials from browsers and applications, and sending data back to attackers. To protect against these threats, it is advised to download mods only from trusted sources, be skeptical of cheat tools, keep antivirus software updated, and be cautious of offers that seem too good to be true.
