..HiddenAds malware in Android apps
This isn’t your average malware, it’s very sneaky. Once a user downloads such an app onto their Android phone, they don’t even have to run it. The malware creates some services that run in the background. It changes its name and icon in the app drawer to represent apps like Setting or Google Play.
The services that the malicious app creators begin displaying ads constantly on the phone. The screenshots show what seems to be interstitial ads (full screen), with various buttons, including a fake warning that the device is at risk. These are just ways to get the user to download another app…
