"Since the malware wasn't in the vendor's ROM, the company's researcher Oren Koriat reckons they were added in the supply chain between vendor and customer."
'Smartphones from Samsung, LG, Xiaomi, ZTE, Oppo, Vivo, Asus and Lenovo have been spotted sporting malware they apparently carried when they were shipped. '
'The malware discovered by Check Point Software Technologies included info-stealers, ransomware like Slocker; Loki, which shows “illegitimate advertisements” to generate revenue while stealing device information; and information stealers. ', "Koriat's post doesn't identify the victims beyond saying two companies owned the devices: one large telecommunications company, and one international IT company."
'The malicious package names and devices they were spotted on are listed below. '
