The apps identified have since been removed from Google Play, but make sure you didn't install one.

    As a curious Android user this comment is useless to me

      For a real answer here’s the Zscaler blog write up: https://www.zscaler.com/blogs/security-research/technical-analysis-anatsa-campaigns-android-banking-malware-active-google

      It looks like they are doing it after app install with a malicious patch. This patch asks for SMS and accessibility access to gain privileges necessary to get into the banking apps. I haven’t thoroughly read it but just looking at the attack chain that’s what I gleaned.

      As an Android developer that comment makes me sad. Then I remind myself that Lemmy is full of people who migrated from Reddit.

        We each have our specialties, and it would be unreasonable to ask that everyone share yours.

        Hey don’t pretend that you didn’t migrate as well.
