NamesPINEFLOWER
CORRUPT KITTEN
CategoryMalware
TypeBackdoor, Info stealer, Exfiltration
Description(FireEye) CORRUPT KITTEN was the author’s chosen name for an Android implant that, according to the blog, ‘supports a full range of spying and device management capability’. The blog contained a summary analysis of this CORRUPT KITTEN implant and an MD5 hash for a DEX file allegedly using the same C&C server.
Notably, the author also noted that the malware stored files ready for exfiltration in a directory named ‘.data_gsc98647a3’, the string we identified in our PINEFLOWER samples. It seemed likely that CORRUPT KITTEN and PINEFLOWER were one and the same.
