Most Android malware is spread through dodgy apps and sideloaded programs, meaning that you can slightly control what gets on your device. However, researchers at Kaspersky have discovered a new Android backdoor, dubbed Keenadu, that is embedded in the firmware of tablets from several manufacturers.
The new report indicates that Keenadu can be distributed via compromised firmware images, other backdoors, embedded in system apps or modified from third-party sources or even the Google Play Store.
