The AI VPN is a free software tool that provides users with an automatic network security assessment of their network traffic. Users can request a new OpenVPN or WireGuard VPN profile via email or Telegram, connect to it for a predefined amount of time (hours to days), and receive a full report after their VPN profile expires.
In this blog post, we show how the Emergency VPN can help identify RAT infections on Android phones. The images and network traffic included in this blog post are part of the original research by Civilsphere researcher Kamila Babayeva on the Android Mischief Dataset.

The great majority of attacks, including targeted attacks, start with a link in an email, chat or sms. Phishing websites have been on the rise for the last decade, and their number is even bigger than websites hosting malware.

We have reported this behavior to Facebook, who confirmed this traffic is part of Facebook’s normal behavior.
