Threat hunters have identified a new variant of Android malware called MoqHao that automatically executes on infected devices without requiring any user interaction.

"Typical MoqHao requires users to install and launch the app to get their desired purpose, but this new variant requires no execution," McAfee Labs said in a report published this week. "While the app is installed, their malicious activity starts automatically."
The campaign's targets include Android users located in France, Germany, India, Japan, and South Korea.
