Security researchers at Bitdefender are warning about malware found embedded deep in the firmware of inexpensive Android smartphones. The malicious software is installed at the factory, meaning it is present on devices before buyers even switch them on, making it difficult to detect or remove. The finding highlights the risks of budget devices from lesser-known manufacturers, and experts are advising users to be cautious when buying very cheap Android hardware.
Why now: New Bitdefender research revealed factory-installed malware on low-cost Android smartphones, raising fresh concerns about supply-chain security.
