Trojanized Adware Abuses Accessibility Service to Secretly Install Apps

lookout

Recently, we covered the existence of trojanized adware that could secretly acquire root access. Of the three adware families discovered by mobile security firm Lookout, it seems that ‘Shedun‘ has capabilities that go beyond the other adware families. In a blog-post, Lookout describes how apps under the Shedun adware family prompt a user to grant it accessibility privileges, which then allow the app to bypass user interaction when installing an app.
