Potentially Millions of Android Phones Have Preinstalled Malware, According to Reports

Wilmington, DE, May 30, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Two reports said that multiple lines of Android devices came with preinstalled malware, such as Guerrilla, that couldn’t be removed without users taking heroic measures, reports Ars Technica.

"Guerrilla opens a backdoor that causes infected devices to regularly communicate with a remote command-and-control server... These malicious updates collect data about the users that the threat actor… can also sell to advertisers. Guerrilla then surreptitiously installs aggressive ad platforms that can deplete battery reserves and degrade the user experience.”

Ars Technica went on to say that “Guerrilla is a massive platform with nearly a dozen plugins that can hijack users’ WhatsApp sessions to send unwanted messages, establish a reverse proxy from an infected phone to use the network resources of the affected mobile device, and inject ads into legitimate apps.”
