Android Malware Hijacks Update System for Car Head Units

Threat actors responsible for a click-fraud botnet are now targeting vehicle infotainment modules. They are using legitimate functionality to spread infections to these systems, specifically car head units. The malware is hijacking the update system of the infotainment modules to carry out the infections. This new tactic marks a shift in the threat actors' targets, from previous focuses to now include vehicle systems. The malware's ability to abuse legitimate functionality allows it to spread infections without being detected as traditional malware.
