KONNI APT Abuses Google Find Hub to Wipe Android Devices

🔐 Genians Security Center (GSC) has attributed a recent destructive campaign to the KONNI APT, which abused Google’s Find Hub service to remotely wipe Android phones and tablets. Threat actors distributed a signed MSI via compromised KakaoTalk accounts, installed an AutoIt loader, and stole Google credentials to trigger remote resets when victims were away. GSC describes this as the first confirmed state-linked misuse of Find Hub and recommends stronger authentication, verification for remote wipes, and enhanced EDR and behavioral monitoring.

Konni Exploits Google's Find Hub to Remotely Wipe Devices

⚠️ The North Korea-linked Konni threat actor has been observed combining spear-phishing and signed installers to compromise Windows and Android systems and exfiltrate credentials. Genians Security Center reports attackers used stolen Google account credentials to access Google Find Hub and remotely reset devices, causing unauthorized data deletion. The campaign, detected in early September 2025, uses malicious MSI packages and RATs including EndRAT and Remcos to maintain long-term access and propagate via compromised KakaoTalk sessions.
