The recent version of Necro malware has infected over 11 million Android devices, disguised within apps on Google Play and exploiting malicious advertising SDKs.
The malware’s infection process uses obfuscation techniques and image steganography, allowing it to perform malicious actions while remaining hidden in modified apps.
According to cybersecurity experts, app developers must ensure that SDKs are secure and not tampered with, highlighting their role in mitigating malware risks.
Users unknowingly subscribe to paid services, while infected devices redirect internet traffic, illustrating the severe implications and lack of user control over the SDKs.
