Important details concerning the malware alert that has been issued by the government organization CERT-in.
DAAM- Data stealer
The national cyber security agency has revealed that an Android malware named "Daam" that infects mobile phones and accesses private information including call logs, contacts, history, and cameras has been spreading.
According to the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team or CERT-In, the malware is also capable of "bypassing anti-virus programs and deploying ransomware on the targeted devices".
The virus aims to get past the device's security check after it is installed, and once succeeding, it tries to steal sensitive information and rights like reading history and bookmarks, deactivating background processes, and reading call logs, among other things, according to the alert.
The advisory stated that "Daam" is also capable of hacking phone call recordings, and contacts, gaining access to the camera, changing device passwords, taking screenshots, stealing SMSes, downloading/uploading files, etc., and transmitting to the C2 (command-and-control) server from the victim's (affected person's) device.
