The malware operates with system-level privileges, allowing attackers to silently install and remove apps, commit ad and click fraud, collect device information, and turn infected phones into residential proxy nodes for botnets. Researchers also identified 13 apps on Google Play sharing the same malicious code and infrastructure, highlighting how the campaign reaches users through both compromised device firmware and seemingly legitimate apps.
