Gemini helps Malware

Of course, Google's AI Gemini isn't “evil” in and of itself, but it does help the bad guys, as explained on the gbhackers.com page linked below. In malware attacks originating on Android smartphones, the attack software enlists the help of Gemini and, with this support, can navigate between Android interfaces to act as an Android shell user (UID 2000).

Through a tunnel, attackers can spy on user behavior. The Agent runs outside the app’s normal process lifecycle and can continue to operate even if the victim removes the visible APK, according to gbhackers.com. This attack is only terminated by an additional reboot of the device. The attackers’ targets are banking apps or messenger communications.

To avoid having to monitor all communication in real time, the malware again uses Gemini to generate AI-driven device assessments that classify compromised devices into categories such as analyzed, high-value, and medium-value targets.
