Check Point Research identified a DeepSeek-attributed malicious Python Flask sample that transforms a theoretical browser ransomware risk into a practical attack using the File System Access API. The sample, disguised as a Discord avatar AI upscaler named InfernoGrabber v9.0, leverages social engineering to trick users into granting folder-level file access via browser permission prompts. Once access is granted, the web page can enumerate, read, exfiltrate, and encrypt files in the selected directory — all without installing a native payload or exploiting a browser vulnerability. The technique is particularly dangerous on Android where Chrome 132+ exposes the File System Access API to web content, allowing access to high-value photo directories including DCIM.

A supply chain attack compromising the widely-used npm package 'art-template' was discovered delivering the Coruna exploit kit to iOS devices. The injected JavaScript acts as a sophisticated watering hole framework, utilizing extensive anti-bot fingerprinting and WebAssembly memory probes to deliver version-specific WebKit RCE exploits targeting Safari on iOS 11.0 through 17.2.

In Q1 2026, mobile banking Trojans saw a significant surge, with Mamont variants driving a 50% increase in malicious installation packages. Additionally, a sophisticated new variant of the SparkCat crypto stealer was identified in official app stores, employing custom virtual machines and OCR techniques to compromise both Android and iOS users.

Threat actors are utilizing Traffic Distribution Systems (TDS) to direct mobile users to fake CAPTCHA pages that trick them into sending premium international SMS messages. This International Revenue Share Fraud (IRSF) scheme leverages social engineering and back button hijacking to generate multiple SMS messages per victim, resulting in significant financial charges.
