LifeLock identity theft protection is not available in all countries.Ĭopyright © 2023 NortonLifeLock Inc. McAfee Mobile Security detects these malicious apps as Android/PhimSms.A and Android/PhimSmsDropper.A.The Norton and LifeLock Brands are part of NortonLifeLock Inc. We should be wary of social engineering techniques to drop malware, even the process is initiated by apps on Google Play. Users need to be very careful about installing apps, especially when they request more permissions than their expected features warrant. Installing this malware and others distributed from outside Google Play can be easily blocked if users disable the “installation of apps from unknown sources” option in the device settings. However, the Trojan could be updated to a more malicious version at the server’s request. So it just makes users take extra steps to disable it when uninstalling. The app does nothing special as a DeviceAdmin for now because the current implementation is empty. Disables and enables these activities, based on server requests.
