MALWARE PRE-INSTALLED ON ANDROID DEVICES?

DEVICES HAVE PRE-INSTALLED FAKE NETFLIX APP






Marble Security received feedback about the Netflix APP on Android phones and tablets, saying it came pre-installed when they received their phones. The phony APP redirected communications to a server in Russia, sending login and password data along with credit card numbers.

Briefly, they looked at a variety of Android devices and found the fake APP on these devices:

"Marble Security found the fake Netflix app on six devices from Samsung Electronics: the GT-N8013 Galaxy Note tablet, the SGH-1727 Galaxy S III phone, the SCH-1605 Galaxy Note 2 phone, the SGH-1337 Galaxy S4 phone, the SGH-1747 Galaxy S III phone and the SCH-1545 Galaxy S4 phone.

The fake app was also found on three Motorola Mobility devices, the Droid Razr, Droid 4 and Droid Bionic; two Asus tablets, the Eee Pad Transformer TF101 and the Memo Pad Smart MT301; and on LG Electronics’ Nexus 5 phone."
