NEW ALBIRIOX MALWARE ATTACKING ANDROID USERS TO TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THEIR DEVICE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

A new Malware-as-a-Service called Albiriox has been observed providing customers with remote access to victim Android devices. Victims typically receive messages promising them discounts or prizes for an app. The links lead to fake versions of legitimate apps that request permissions to install applications, then fetch and install the malware. In addition to traditional infostealer capabilities, Albiriox includes a VNC module that streams the victim's device screen to the attacker.
