Screenshot Detection

Espionage tools, malware and techniques that abuse native system resources can exploit screenshot capture, video recording or interface mirroring to obtain sensitive information displayed by the application. This type of visual exposure can result in the leakage of credentials, personal data, balances, temporary authentication codes and other critical information, even when logical and cryptographic protection mechanisms are present.

In the iOS ecosystem, features such as screenshot capture, screen recording and mirroring via AirPlay or ReplayKit can be misused to record or transmit the content displayed by the application. Detecting these events is especially relevant in applications that handle sensitive data, authentication processes or financial operations.

Technical Mechanism: MAD continuously monitors system events related to screenshot capture, screen recording and mirroring of the device interface. Upon identifying that the application's content is being captured, recorded or transmitted to an external environment, MAD classifies the scenario as risky and triggers the configured protection policies. All detected events are logged and sent to the Command Center, enabling traceability, analysis and centralized response, significantly reducing the risk of improper exposure of sensitive data.
