CopyCat Android Rooting Malware Infected 14 Million Devices

A newly uncovered malware strain has already infected more than 14 Million Android devices around the world, earning its operators approximately $1.5 Million in fake ad revenues in just two months.

Dubbed CopyCat, the malware has capabilities to root infected devices, establish persistence, and inject malicious code into Zygote – a daemon responsible for launching apps on Android, providing the hackers full access to the devices.
