Counterfeit Android phones are hiding pre-installed malware that can infect every system process

Kaspersky researchers have identified a new strain of the Triada Trojan, pre-installed on counterfeit Android devices. The malware, first identified in 2016, can steal personal data and other information. It is able to impersonate users, hijack social media accounts and steal cryptocurrency. It is likely to be installed during early stages of the supply chain, hence vendors may not be aware of its presence. Between 13 and 27 March 2025, over 2,600 users worldwide have encountered this new strain, mostly in Russia.
