CYFIRMA Research- GhostGrab Android Malware
Mobile Threat Alert: GhostGrab Malware!
Cybercriminals are getting more sophisticated, and GhostGrab is a clear example. This Android malware doesn’t just steal banking credentials—it can also:
- Run hidden cryptocurrency mining that drains your battery and CPU
- Harvest debit card and online banking login information
- Intercept SMS messages, including one-time passwords (OTPs)
- Collect detailed device and SIM data
- Hide itself and resist removal
- Use phishing pages within apps to trick victims into revealing sensitive information
- Leverage Firebase as a Command & Control (C2) server, making traditional detection more difficult
How to Protect Yourself:
✅ Only download apps from official sources, such as the Google Play Store or, for iOS devices, the Apple App Store
✅ Avoid unknown APKs and suspicious links
✅ Monitor your bank accounts and SMS activity regularly
✅ Keep your device and apps updated
Mobile malware is evolving—stay informed, stay protected.
