McAfee has discovered a new Android malware called SpyAgent that steals private keys by using OCR to extract text from screenshots.

More specifically, the malware uses a mechanism known as optical character recognition (OCR) to scan images stored on a smartphone and extract words from them.

McAfee Labs explained that the malware is distributed through malicious links sent through text messages.
