&lt;li>&lt;strong>SOC/IR — Learn:&lt;/strong> StreamRat demonstrates a malvertising delivery chain for Android banking trojans capable of near-complete device takeover; worth noting the ad-platform distribution vector for mobile threat modeling, though no IOCs or ATT&amp;amp;CK mappings are available to act on today.&lt;/li>
