  • A group of hackers have taken advantage of typing mistakes in order to introduce malware to Android phones and Windows-based PCs.
  • Using a technique called typosquatting, which consists of registering domains that are dramatically near to the ones of official brands of organizations, hackers are getting data and private keys from unsuspected users.
  • The target device, be it an Android phone or a Windows PC, will then be infected with a version of ERMAC, a malware trojan that allows the threat actors to access several critical private data in the targeted device, including private keys.
