AI-Driven Obfuscation is Rising in Mobile Malware, but Zimperium Stays Ahead

AhnLab detailed an Android malware campaign delivered via apps impersonating a major Korean delivery service; attackers are using generative-AI tooling and automated build pipelines to produce polymorphic, heavily obfuscated binaries and are embedding C2 configuration in compromised legitimate websites to evade detection. The report warns this AI-driven shift increases scale and sophistication of mobile threats against consumers and supply chains, while noting Zimperium's on-device detection currently provides zero-day protection for known samples.
