Meta Ads Push StreamRat Android Trojan That Can Gain Near-Complete Device Control
Researchers disclosed StreamRat, an Android banking trojan distributed through fake streaming advertisements on Meta, primarily targeting Spanish-speaking users in Spain and the European Union. The malware grants operators near-complete control over infected devices. The campaign reached approximately 571,000 Meta accounts across the EU.
Why it matters: Organizations and individuals in Spain and the EU should assess whether employees or users have installed apps from suspicious streaming services advertised on Meta, as StreamRat provides attackers with broad device control capabilities including potential access to banking credentials and sensitive data.
