New Herodotus Android malware fakes human typing to avoid detection www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…
A new Android malware family, Herodotus, uses random delay injection in its input routines to mimic human behavior on mobile devices and evade timing-based detection by security software.
Herodotus, according to Threat Fabric, is offered as a malware-as-a-service (MaaS) to financially motivated cybercriminals, believed to be the same operators behind Brokewell.
Although the malware is still in development, clients of the new MaaS platform are currently deploying it against Italian and Brazilian users through SMS phishing (smishing) text messages.
