Kaspersky says the malware SparkKitty has been around since at least early 2024, and is likely connected to a similar type of malicious software dubbed SparkCat.
Cybersecurity firm Kaspersky has warned of a newly discovered malware known as SparkKitty, which steals photos from infected devices in the hopes of finding crypto seed phrases.
Kaspersky analysts Sergey Puzan and Dmitry Kalinin said in a report on Monday that SparkKitty is targeting both iOS and Android devices by infiltrating some of the apps on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Once a device is infected, the malicious software indiscriminately steals all images in the photo gallery.
