A fake Amazon Black Friday Android app (download URL: http://amazon.de.offer47263.cc/amazon.apk) installs a hidden, persistent child application named 'com.android.engine' that escalates to device administrator, harvests contacts, SMS, call logs and browser history, and exfiltrates data to a hardcoded C2 (198.50.169.251:4467); packet captures and screenshots in the report show active communication and data transfer. Users are advised to install apps only from legitimate stores and review requested permissions.
