New Android malware utilizes AI with TensorFlow to automatically click on hidden ads, enhancing click fraud mechanisms. Distributed via Xiaomi’s app store and third-party sites, it uses a ‘phantom’ mode for covert actions and a ‘signalling’ mode for real-time control. Affected apps initially lack malicious intent but receive updates adding harmful features, misleading users. Users are advised to avoid non-Google Play apps to mitigate risks.
