Threat actors are distributing fake Android "interview" apps impersonating Indeed to trick job seekers into sideloading APKs that act as droppers for spyware. The malicious apps impersonate Indeed's login, create a VPN connection after an email is entered, request Accessibility permissions (which can enable device takeover and prevent uninstall), and deliver additional payloads; the report provides MD5 IOCs for droppers and payloads and a suspicious domain (startcareer.org).
