Today, think of an app in this special post that first installs on android devices without you discovering and scans your personal data, from photos, videos and even to what you're typing. This dangerous app is actually a kind of virus that has to know everything about you. The virus can secretly click photos and record videos without you knowing it. In the case of scans each app, the app tracks history and location details. This way, everything you do on your smartphone is known to the planter of this virus or malware. Let's know the full details

For your information, it's not less than a scary dream for a smartphone user, but it's absolutely possible. Mobile security firm Lookout has detected this Android malware. Monocle claims to have been developed by a Russian company Special Technology Centre. Indeed, Monocle is not just a malware but a set of custom Android surveillance tools. This malware can be used to monitor and target anyone, which makes it the most dangerous malware of the present time. Mobile security firm Lookout wrote in a blog post, "Lookout detected Monocle in 2018 and research. During the period, we learned that these tools were part of some targeted campaigns and were developed by the Russian-based Special Technology Centre (STC). The company was also named in the 2016 US Presidency Election in giving material support to the GRU. Researchers said, "Advanced data uses a filter technology with the help of Monocle remote access trojan (RAT) function. This way, it replaces the trusted certificates of the infected device with an attacker-specific certificate.

In its statement, researchers say that the man-in-the-middle (MITM) tax opens the way after a second certificate is installed to replace the trusted certificate. Researchers claim that this is the first time in a long time. A similar case came to light in the past when a new update on the malware Pegasus created by the Israeli company NSO Group was shared by a firm. A Financial Times report claims that the updated version of Pegasus could steal store data from users on servers such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon and Apple iCloud.
