A new Android malware operation called RedWing is being rented out on Telegram as a ready-made bank-fraud service. It lets even low-skill criminals take over a victim's phone, steal their banking logins, and capture the one-time codes that protect their accounts.
Zimperium's zLabs, which found the operation, says it looks like a new variant of Oblivion, a $300-a-month rent-a-malware tool documented earlier this year.
RedWing is sold as a complete product, in subscription tiers with referral discounts, guides, and how-to videos, so a buyer needs no malware-writing skill. A Telegram bot builds each buyer a custom app on demand.
Researchers say a substantial number of the resulting droppers and payloads currently evade conventional security tools.
