SparkKitty Malware: An Emerging Threat to Mobile Users
SparkKitty is a newly uncovered cross-platform information stealer, designed to exfiltrate sensitive data—particularly cryptocurrency wallet seed phrases—by leveraging advanced optical character recognition (OCR) techniques on both Android and iOS devices. The malware, discovered by Kaspersky in early 2024 and publicly detailed in June 2025, appears to be a direct evolution of a previous stealer known as SparkCat.
