KYCShadow: Mobile Threat Alert – Android Banking Malware Campaign

CYFIRMA Research has identified a sophisticated Android malware campaign distributed via WhatsApp, impersonating Bank KYC and e-Challan services to compromise financial users at scale.

The campaign demonstrates structured backend operations and infrastructure reuse (e.g., jsonapi[.]biz), indicating a coordinated and evolving fraud ecosystem. Notably, phishing interfaces reuse “eChallan” themes, reflecting cross-campaign adaptation techniques.
