A new Android malware called Snowblind has emerged and it’s using a clever trick to bypass security. Named Snowblind, this malware exploits a feature meant to protect users – a security check called “seccomp” – to hide its tampering with legitimate apps.
Snowblind “repackages” these apps, making them blind to the fact that Snowblind is now piggybacking on them.
