Spy Program Spreading to 26 Countries
Cybersecurity experts have warned about the new spyware program DragonDoll, which has targeted Android phone users in over 26 countries, including Russia. The program allows attackers near-complete control over devices, enabling the theft of personal data, chats from messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Viber, interception of notifications, screenshot capture, tap recording, as well as reading messages, passwords, and PIN codes through fake websites. DragonDoll spreads by deceiving users into installing the app via fake links that mimic official update pages, with the data sent to the scammers' servers being encrypted. These attacks rely on social engineering rather than exploiting technical vulnerabilities, increasing the danger of manipulating human trust. Experts advise against installing updates from untrusted links, to verify the source of updates, and to avoid downloading files or apps from unknown sources to prevent hacking, data theft, or control over device functions.
