Android.SpyMax

Android.SpyMax is an Android banking trojan family that Dr.Web describes as being based on leaked source code of the SpyNote RAT/spyware trojan. The malware supports remote control of infected Android devices and has been used in multiple scenarios, including banking-trojan operations. Reported banking functionality includes phishing-style behavior associated with Android banking malware, and the family was specifically tracked by Dr.Web as Android.SpyMax banking trojans. Dr.Web reported that Android.SpyMax activity declined in some 2025 reporting periods, including a 17.25% decrease in detections in Q3 2025, and was described as less active in later reporting. Some Android.SpyMax samples or versions were noted as being protected with obfuscation/packing detected as Android.Packed.57.origin. High-confidence context directly ties Android.SpyMax to Android devices, banking-trojan use cases, SpyNote-derived code, remote device control capability, and use of obfuscation in at least some variants.
