This method was first discovered by Joe Security and later confirmed by other cybersecurity firms such as Zimperium and zLab. Zimperium’s report highlighted that around 3,300 APKs are currently evading detection using this method. It’s important to note that these apps are not found on the official Google Play Store, meaning they are being distributed through alternative channels. While this reduces the number of potential victims, it also makes it harder to track and remove the malicious apps.
