A longstanding remote access trojan known as GravityRAT has reemerged with expanded capabilities targeting Android alongside Windows and macOS devices. Researchers report that this multi-platform RAT enables attackers to gain persistent access, exfiltrate sensitive files, and harvest data, including documents, photos, and encrypted backups, from compromised mobile endpoints. Its use of stealth techniques and disguising tactics underscores how evolving remote access threats increasingly include smartphones as high-value targets. With mobile devices widely used for business, communication, and personal data, this trend highlights the pressing need for robust mobile threat detection, strict app controls, and monitoring for anomalous device behaviors.
