How to Detect SOVA Trojan Attacks Using AI
Learn how to detect and protect against SOVA Android malware in Android apps in mobile CI/CD using Appdome’s no-code unified mobile app defense platform.
What is SOVA Trojan?
SOVA is a sophisticated Android banking trojan targeting financial apps, cryptocurrency wallets, and other sensitive platforms to steal credentials, intercept 2FA codes, and perform on-device fraud. It employs overlay attacks to trick users into entering credentials on fake login screens and includes keylogging to capture input and cookie stealing to hijack sessions in services like Gmail and Google Pay. SOVA has evolved to include ransomware capabilities, encrypting files, and demanding ransom payments. With remote device control, it manipulates user interactions and executes fraudulent transactions. Protecting against SOVA is critical to prevent financial fraud, identity theft, and ransomware attacks while ensuring compliance with anti-fraud standards like PCI DSS.
