According to Cointelegraph, Kaspersky Lab recently discovered a large number of counterfeit Android phones with pre-installed malware being sold online at low prices. These devices are infected with the Triada Trojan, which can steal cryptocurrencies and other sensitive data. Kaspersky expert Dmitry Kalinin stated that attackers have successfully stolen approximately $270,000 worth of various cryptocurrencies by replacing wallet addresses, and the actual losses may be higher, as the attackers are also targeting the privacy coin Monero. Currently, 2,600 infection cases have been confirmed, primarily concentrated in Russia.
