Researchers have uncovered a new kind of “advanced” phishing attack targeting Android phones that can trick users into installing malicious settings on their devices that are disguised as innocuous network configuration updates.
The attack, disclosed by cybersecurity firm Check Point Research today, has been found to be successful on most modern Android phones, including the Huawei P10, LG G6, Sony Xperia XZ Premium, and Samsung Galaxy S9. But any phone running Android can be targeted this way.
