The explanations for not downloading APK files onto Android devices by users

The latest cybercrime operation has been uncovered that installs software on Android devices that can capture text on the screen, secure approval, and capture data by subverting the “Restricted Settings” function. The Confined configurations feature on Android smartphones is circumvented by a new cybercrime operation called “SecuriDropper” in order to set up viruses and gain access to mobility Services.

The method used by cybercriminals is still present in Android 14 and uses session-based installation API for the malicious APK (Android package) files, which installs them in multiple steps, involving a “base” package and various “split” data files, a report from Bleeping Computer said.
