An annoying Android app asks a user to grant it administrator rights in order to display ads that lead to potential drive-by downloads. The offending app apparently downloads automatically from Godlike Productions, a self-proclaimed conspiracy forum that traffics in UFOs, secret societies, and lunatic fringe The apps developers hope this disguise will convince users to authorize the fake system update it displays upon installation. Approving the fake update causes the app to launch another APK known as Update, which requests administrative rights. The Update APK can download apps without notification, write settings, and overlay the system window with annoying ads.”]
