How to stay safe from malicious extensions Suffice it to say, this malware is incredibly dangerous and could be used for blackmail or even to steal your identity. The FastViewer malware is a remote access trojan ( RAT) that allows the hackers to drop, create, delete or steal files as well as retrieve your contacts, make calls, send text messages, turn on your camera, log your keystrokes and more. Once your Gmail account is in the hands of these hackers, they then use Google Play’s web-to-phone synchronisation feature for installing apps from your computer onto your smartphone to infect victims’ phones with the malware.

If having your Gmail messages read by hackers wasn’t bad enough, the Kimsuky hacker group also has its own Android malware known as FastViewer, Fastfire or Fastspy DEX.
