On March 13, it was reported that the foreign security company Check Point issued a report that it found 38 Android phones with pre installed malware among the mobile phones sold by two enterprises it investigated. The models involved in the report almost covered all the mobile phone brands you saw: Samsung, Xiaomi, Hongmi, ZTE Oppo、Vivo 、 Lenovo and LG are on the list.
The good news is that mobile phone manufacturers do not have these malwares in their official ROMs, but they have been preinstalled with malware after "going through" third-party retailers. These malwares are mainly used to collect user information and display advertisements. The malwares in six mobile phones even have system level permissions, and they are also embedded in the system firmware. Users cannot uninstall them manually.
Check Point also released the package name of the malware, in which there are domestic singing bars, live broadcast, quick download, foreign mobogenie application market, and even Google search apps have been implanted with malicious content. The good news is that these are surveys of models sold abroad, but the bad news is that the possibility of built-in malware in mobile phones sold by third-party vendors in China is actually higher than that in foreign countries. Considering that most users do not self brush their phones, we recommend that you buy mobile phones through formal channels to avoid unknown losses. The following is the released package name and model information:
