FireScam is an Android infostealer/spyware distributed via a GitHub.io phishing site impersonating RuStore that installs as GetAppsRu.apk, requests extensive permissions (including an 'update owner' role to maintain persistence), harvests notifications, SMS, clipboard, app data and USSD responses, and exfiltrates data to Firebase while using Firebase Cloud Messaging for command-and-control and silent remote payload delivery.
