AI-powered Android malware PromptSpy uses Google's Gemini to steal data and evade detection, targeting users in Argentina.
Android malware PromptSpy, discovered by ESET, is the first known instance of generative AI—specifically Google’s Gemini—being used in malware to maintain persistence by interpreting on-screen elements and issuing dynamic touch commands.
It adapts across devices and OS versions, evades removal by pinning itself in the recent apps list and using invisible overlays, and deploys a VNC module for remote access, screen capture, and data theft.
Likely developed by Chinese-speaking cybercriminals, it targets users in Argentina, possibly using Chase Bank branding, and is distributed via malicious websites.
Though not yet widespread, it represents a growing trend of AI-assisted malware, with Google notified and Android users protected.
