The “System Update” app has never appeared on Google Play.
This malware cansteal your data, messages, photos, and more.
The researchers at mobile security firm Zimperium zLabs found out the new malware.
The bug comes with an Android app called System Update which should beinstalled out of Google Play.
The CEO of Zimperium Shridhar Mittal told, the Malware was a part of a targeted attack.
More, he added,
It is easily the most sophisticated weve seen.
I think a lot of time and effort was spent on creating this app.
After the user installs the malware from a third-party store, the hacker can use the smartphone remotely.
All the data is collected and organized into different folders in the spywares storage.
Moreover, System Update can also create a malicious notification that looks to be a legal software update alert.
Even, if it shows you legal notification do not fall for it.
As the official downloads are always done via the official Google Play Store.
