AhMyth is an open-source Android remote access trojan used for mobile surveillance and data theft. Its malicious functionality can be embedded in otherwise functional applications, allowing attackers to distribute trojanized apps through Google Play, third-party application stores, and dedicated websites. AhMyth-based malware supports collecting contacts, device information, SMS messages, and stored files, recording audio, and transferring collected data to command-and-control infrastructure. Some deployments also support keylogging, screenshot capture, and interception of SMS-based multifactor authentication codes. Access to sensitive data depends on granted permissions and Android platform restrictions.
Notable deployments include Radio Balouch, also known as RB Music, a functional music-streaming application that covertly collected contacts and files and could send SMS messages. Another deployment involved iRecorder, an initially legitimate screen-recording application that received customized AhMyth-based code through an update in August 2022. The compromised application secretly recorded audio and exfiltrated files at regular intervals.
Transparent Tribe has deployed modified AhMyth variants against Indian military and government personnel using pornography-themed applications and an imitation of the Aarogya Setu COVID-19 tracking application. These variants added APK downloading, continuous audio recording, deletion of SMS messages containing attacker-selected text, and automated collection of messages, contacts, recordings, documents, photographs, and WhatsApp media. AhMyth also influenced the development of L3MON, which subsequently formed the basis of XploitSPY; capabilities added to those descendants are not necessarily present in AhMyth itself.
Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
1 distinct threat actor attributed by public researchers. Open in Mallory to see the full evidence chain and overlapping campaigns.
The final malware is a modified version of the AhMyth Android RAT, open-source malware downloadable from GitHub, which is built by binding the malicious payload inside other legitimate applications.
5 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
For C&C communication, Radio Balouch relies on its (now defunct) radiobalouch[.]com domain. This is where it would send information it has gathered about its victims... As with the account credentials, the C&C traffic is transmitted unencrypted over an HTTP connection.
