Zimperium, the pioneer in AI-empowered mobile security, announces new research from its zLabs threat intelligence team uncovering PixRevolution, a sophisticated Android banking trojan designed to hijack Brazil’s widely used PIX instant payment system in real time.

PixRevolution represents a significant evolution in mobile financial malware. Unlike traditional banking trojans that rely heavily on automated overlays or credential theft, PixRevolution introduces an agent-operated attack model in which a human or AI operator monitors an infected device’s screen live and intervenes at the precise moment a victim initiates a PIX transfer.
