Dubbed “Vultur” due to its use of Virtual Network Computing’s remote screen-sharing technology to gain full visibility on targeted users. The malware was distributed via the official Google Play Store and masqueraded as an app named “Protection Guard,” attracting over 5,000 installations. Banking and crypto-wallet apps from Italy, Australia, and Spain were the primary targets.
