How to Detect FjordPhantom Trojan Attacks Using AI
Learn to Detect FjordPhantom in Android apps in mobile CI/CD with a Data-Driven DevSecOps™ build system.
What is FjordPhantom?
FjordPhantom is malicious malware designed to target banking apps by combining virtualization techniques, dynamic code injection, and Java and POSIX API hooking. It spreads via phishing links through email, SMS, and messaging apps, tricking users into downloading an app that mimics their bank’s legitimate app. Once installed, the malware encapsulates the real banking app within a virtual environment, bypassing traditional safeguards and enabling attackers to monitor user actions. Attackers can guide users through fraudulent transactions or steal login credentials to launch further attacks. This malware is particularly dangerous due to its advanced obfuscation and multi-layered attack techniques, posing severe risks to app security, user data, and compliance with financial regulations.
How Appdome Protects Against FjordPhantom Trojan in Android Apps?
Appdome’s dynamic Detect FjordPhantom Trojan plugin for Android combines advanced protections for virtualization attempts, API hooking, dynamic code injection, and fake apps and clones. The plugin identifies and blocks the malware’s ability to monitor user actions, intercept credentials, and prevent injection attacks used to manipulate transactions. Combined, these protections ensure dynamic and continuous protection against FjordPhantom’s diverse attack vectors without requiring developers to write or change code. Mobile developers can leverage Appdome’s Threat-Events™ to collect detailed data and implement tailored in-app responses based on detected threats.
