Overview of latest FakeCall attacks.
The FakeCall malware typically infiltrates a device through a malicious app downloaded from a compromised website or a phishing email. The app requests permission to become the default call handler. If granted, the malware gains extensive privileges.
A fake call interface mimics the actual Android dialer, displaying trusted contact information and names, elevating the level of deception to a point that's hard for victims to realize.

Interacting with the Private Cloud Compute client from the Virtual Research Environment.
Apple provides a Virtual Research Environment (VRE), which replicates locally the cloud intelligence system and allows inspecting it as well as testing its security and hunting for issues.
“The VRE runs the PCC node software in a virtual machine with only minor modifications. Userspace software runs identically to the PCC node, with the boot process and kernel adapted for virtualization,” Apple explains, sharing documentation on how to set up the Virtual Research Environment on your device.
VRE is present on macOS Sequia 15.1 Developer Preview and it needs a device with Apple silicaon and at least 16GB of unified memory.
