Security researchers have revived an old data-stealing attack, named Pixnapping, targeting Android devices by allowing malicious apps to capture sensitive information from other applications, including two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. The attack exploits vulnerabilities in the Android operating system through pixel manipulation and timing analysis, revealing data without requiring special permissions. Google has acknowledged the issue and issued patches, although researchers note that a workaround still exists. This development highlights ongoing security challenges in mobile technology, emphasizing the need for continuous enhancements in cybersecurity measures to protect user information against sophisticated threats.
