Agent Smith Attack

Definitions

1. A malware technique, notably associated with the Android malware family of the same name, that hijacks or replaces legitimate applications with maliciously modified versions on infected devices. It exploits app-delivery trust and persistence rather than a single dramatic exploit step.

   In plain English: A malware attack that swaps a legitimate mobile app for a malicious altered version.

   Example: "The research showed an Agent Smith attack replacing the banking app with a trojanized clone on rooted devices."
