Backdoor Found in Android Phones Manufactured by Coolpad: Research

That's a shame, I was going to buy a Coolpad phone.

 

Hmmm...... first it was Xiaomi, now Coolpad.

 

In Xiaomi's case, it was MIUI Cloud Messaging service which was set to auto...but then made into an opt-in service.

Coolpad and Coolreaper backdoor is a different thing altogether. This one is much more similar to the Star N9500 (Samsung S4 clone) malware discovery.

 

Yes, you are right.
