Cybersecurity researchers at Check Point have identified a mobile malware called 'CopyCat', that infected 1.4 crore Android devices globally. The malware earned hackers behind the campaign nearly ₹10 crore in fake ad revenues in two months. CopyCat, which reached its peak in April-May 2016, allowed attackers to gain full control of the device, leaving the phone's owner defenseless.
