uCreator Android spyware steals Telegram 2FA and hijacks WeChat accounts
Researcher Ovi found a rentable Android spyware kit called uCreator that takes over Telegram and WeChat accounts by hiding code inside tampered copies of the apps. It only infects users who install those copies outside official app stores or run WeChat in the kit makers' container app.
