New Manic Android malware can exfiltrate data through nearby devices

Manic is a newly identified Android malware affecting users across multiple European countries that includes a fallback mechanism to exfiltrate data through nearby infected devices when direct communication is unavailable.

Why it matters: Android users in Europe should be aware of this malware's novel peer-to-peer data exfiltration capability, which could allow attackers to steal information even when direct network access is blocked.
