McAfee Labs warns of a global surge in 'SpyLoan' predatory Android apps that leverage social engineering and excessive permissions to collect sensitive data (SMS, call logs, contacts), exfiltrate it to C2 servers using hardcoded AES-128 and obfuscation, and then harass or extort victims; the campaign has exceeded 8 million downloads with hotspots in South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa and has caused financial, privacy, and psychological harm.
