The Dawn of Generative AI Android Malware
PromptSpy, a groundbreaking strain of Android malware that integrates Google’s Gemini AI to adapt its behavior in real time. Unlike traditional threats that use static code, this spyware utilizes generative AI to analyze device screens and bypass specific hardware variations, ensuring it remains persistent on infected phones. Beyond its technical adaptability, the software functions as a surveillance tool capable of stealing credentials, recording user interactions, and capturing sensitive data. The report also highlights the difficulty of manual removal, as the malware uses invisible overlays to block users from clicking uninstall buttons. Consequently, cybersecurity experts urge businesses to adopt Zero Trust architectures and advanced mobile management to defend against this new era of autonomous, AI-driven digital threats.
