ZeroDayRAT Mobile Spyware Sold on Telegram Gives Full Control of Android and iOS Devices

iVerify warns that easy access via Telegram lowers the barrier for criminal use.

Overview

  • iVerify reports the toolkit targets a wide OS range, from Android 5–16 to iOS 26, covering even current flagship devices.
  • A web dashboard surfaces device details, recent messages, app activity, notifications, GPS location history, and registered accounts for rapid profiling.
  • Operators can activate cameras and microphones, record screens, log keystrokes, and intercept SMS one‑time codes to bypass SMS‑based two‑factor authentication.
  • Dedicated theft modules scan popular crypto wallets for clipboard hijacking and deploy overlays against banking and payment apps including Google Pay, PhonePe, Apple Pay, and PayPal.
  • Researchers say infections typically start via smishing, phishing emails, or fake app stores, and recommend installing only from official stores and enabling platform protections to reduce individual and enterprise risk.
