New Android ‘God Mode’ threat explained: How hackers are taking over phones in India

New Delhi: India’s cybersecurity officials have put out an urgent alert about a new Android malware called “God Mode.” The National Cybercrime Threat Analytics Unit (NCTAU) says this threat lets hackers take almost the total charge of your smartphone. Once they’re in, they can watch everything you do, grab sensitive info, and even control your device without having a clue.
