To protect themselves, users are advised to:
- Check for the list of app hashes provided by Zimperium’s report to identify potentially malicious apps.
- Uninstall any suspicious apps from their devices.
- Scan their devices with an Android antivirus app to ensure no residual threats.
- Be cautious of apps that request excessive permissions.
It’s worth noting that this evasion technique is not the only one being used by attackers, as they are employing various methods to avoid analysis and detection by security tools.
