[$] Retrieving pixels from Android phones with Pixnapping

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 16:44:04 +0000

Description:
A new class of attacks on Android phones, called " Pixnapping ", was 
announced on
October 13.  It allows a malicious app to gather output rendered in a
victim app, pixel-by-pixel, by exploiting a GPU side-channel.  Depending on
what the victim app displays, anything from sensitive email and chats to
two-factor authentication (2FA) codes could be capturedand shipped off to
an attacker's site.
