Malvertising campaign detected on a popular forum is forcibly downloading an Android app on users’ devices. Malvertising was delivered via malicious ads delivered on the GodLike Productions forum, a site that ranks in Alexa’s Top 11K most popular websites on the Internet. Researchers say they’ve tracked over 300 downloads of the first-stage app in the past two weeks. Uninstalling the app requires first that the user revokes its admin rights, so it can’t be done without flashing the user’s phone.
