OK, so the attack vector here is installing dodgy stuff off the Play store? Or not the play store but from another source, such as an ad?
- michaelbuckbee 9y agoAll of the above, it's a payload that is part of multiple different attacks.
- ninju 9y agoI believe it's only from 'third party' app stores..The official Google Play store already scans applications for such malicious content.
