It also takes pictures, captures screenshots, records\naudios, intercepts and sends SMS messages. In addition, it can log the keyboard input by\nthe Android accessibility service, acting as a keylogger.\nPluginPhantom is a new class of Google Android Trojan: it is the first to use updating and\nto evade static detection. It does this by leveraging the Android plugin technology. It\nabuses the legitimate and popular open source framework “DroidPlugin”, which allows an\napp to dynamically launch any apps as plugins without installing them in the system.\nPluginPhantom implements each element of malicious functionality as a plugin, and\nutilizes a host app to control the plugins. With the new architecture, PluginPhantom\nachieves more flexibility to update its modules without reinstalling apps. PluginPhantom\nalso gains the ability to evade the static detection by hiding malicious behaviors in\nplugins. Since the plugin development pattern is generic and the plugin SDK can be easily\nembedded, the plugin architecture could be a trend among Android malware in the future.\nInformation\nAlienVault OTX Last change to this tool card: 02 July 2020\nDownload this tool card in JSON format\nAll groups using tool PluginPhantom\nChanged Name Country Observed\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=a56b62e0-d456-4098-bfae-a86aeae21b49\nPage 1 of 2\n\nAPT groups\r\n  Ke3chang, Vixen Panda, APT 15, GREF, Playful Dragon 2010-Oct 2024  \r\n1 group listed (1 APT, 0 other, 0 unknown)\r\nSource: https://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=a56b62e0-d456-4098-bfae-a86aeae21b49\r\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=a56b62e0-d456-4098-bfae-a86aeae21b49\r\nPage 2 of 2",
