Cybercriminals are forever finding ways to get into your phone. The latest example is the SpyNote malware, which aims to keep tabs on you and steal sensitive information., SpyNote is spyware and is spread through smishing or fake mobile messages. The text messages trick victims into downloading the app.
The app also tries to hide itself and can't be found in the app launcher. It doesn't even show up on the Recents screen. It relies on external triggers such as an SMS to be launched. The main purpose of SpyNote is to steal as much data from the victim's phone as possible and send it back to the attacker's computer.
It can even record what you type on your phone, meaning it can steal your credentials and screen unlock password.Unlike most other nefarious apps, getting rid of SpyNote is not as straightforward as deleting it. Since it's a hidden app, it can't be located and deleted. Deleting it through the Settings app is not possible either, as the app closes the menu screen whenever the user navigates to the app via Settings.
