Could your Android phone be home to a remote access tool (RAT) that steals WhatsApp backups? This week, ESET researchers revealed how an updated version of Android GravityRAT spyware is being spread as free messaging apps called BingeChat and Chatico and used to exfiltrate victims’ WhatsApp backups, among other malicious actions. The threat actor behind GravityRAT remains unknown, though ESET researchers track the group internally as SpaceCobra.
