Roaming Mantis hits Android and iOS users in malware, phishing attacks

By Bill Toulas, Bleeping Computer

After hitting Germany, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, the US, and the U.K. the Roaming Mantis operation moved to targeting Android and iOS users in France, likely compromising tens of thousands of devices.

Roaming Mantis is believed to be a financially-motivated threat actor that started targeting European users in February.

In a recently observed campaign, the threat actor uses SMS communication to lure users into downloading malware on their Android devices. If the potential victim uses iOS, they are redirected to a phishing page for Apple credentials.
