Android smartphones from various manufacturers have reportedly been found to be infected with malware right out of the box, affecting users in India, Indonesia, Mexico, Thailand, Russia, and the United States. Due to excessive battery usage, the software may compromise the affected user’s privacy and result in a poor user experience. According to security researchers, the Guerrilla malware can also update itself and install additional software on the victim’s phone in order to collect personal data and inject advertisements into regular apps.
