A:

An Android Trojan is a type of malware that disguises itself as a legitimate app (e.g., news readers, digital ID apps, or even Google Chrome clones) to trick users into installing it. Once installed, it can:

  • Steal banking credentials via overlay attacks.
  • Read on-screen encrypted messages (WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal).
  • Gain full device control using Accessibility Services and Device Administrator privileges.
  • Send sensitive data (location, installed apps) to remote servers.
  • Impact: Financial fraud, crypto theft, and privacy breaches.
