Samsung's One UI 8 introduces a new Voice Captioning feature within its Galaxy AI suite, capable of real-time speech-to-text conversion, translation, and summarization, with the ability to save media. Currently available only in China, users can manually install an APK to access it, though it may have stability issues and is not officially supported worldwide yet.
The Google Messages APK suggests that users may soon be able to edit messages after they have been sent, providing more flexibility and control over their conversations.
Threat actors are using Android Package (APK) files with unsupported compression methods to evade malware analysis. Over 3,300 artifacts have been found using this technique, with 71 samples able to be loaded onto the operating system without issues. These apps were likely distributed through untrusted app stores or social engineering tactics. The use of unsupported compression methods limits decompilation and analysis, making it difficult to detect and analyze the malware. Additionally, malware authors are deliberately corrupting APK files to trigger crashes on analysis tools. This discovery follows Google's recent revelation about threat actors using versioning to bypass malware detection on the Play Store.
