"SecuriDropper: Android Cybercrime Service Bypasses Google's Security with Malware"

A new cybercrime operation called 'SecuriDropper' has been discovered, using a method to bypass Android's 'Restricted Settings' feature and install malware on devices. This feature was designed to prevent side-loaded applications from accessing powerful features like Accessibility Services and Notification Listener. SecuriDropper poses as legitimate apps, such as Google apps or security apps, and installs a second payload that is some form of malware. The operation obtains permissions through user deception and interface manipulation. This is the first observed case of this method being used in cybercrime operations targeting Android users.
