A malicious site impersonating a Google Account security page (served from google-prism.com) lures users into installing a PWA that, via granted permissions and a service worker, harvests contacts, clipboard contents, GPS, intercepts OTPs, acts as an HTTP/WebSocket proxy to route attacker traffic through victims, performs local network scanning, queues exfiltrated data for later delivery, and can deliver an Android APK (com.device.sync, SHA-256: 1fe2be4582c4cbce8013c3506bc8b46f850c23937a564d17e5e170d6f60d8c08) which adds keystroke capture, accessibility monitoring, notification listening, autofill interception, device-admin persistence, and other high-risk capabilities; the report includes remediation steps and IOCs.
