The National Computer Emergency Response Team (nCERT) has issued an advisory to Android users worldwide regarding a malicious campaign by the Konfety Group.
The campaign targeted users with over 200 counterfeit applications on the Google Play Store.
The malicious applications functioned as droppers, deploying obfuscated stagers and backdoored software development kits (SDKs) to execute malicious operations.
nCERT recommends preventive measures such as limiting app permissions, updating devices routinely, and downloading applications exclusively from official stores.
