Android Trojan steals money from PayPal accounts even with 2FA on

There is a new Trojan preying on Android users, and it has some nasty tricks up its sleeve.

First detected by ESET in November 2018, the malware combines the capabilities of a remotely controlled banking Trojan with a novel misuse of Android Accessibility services, to target users of the official PayPal app.

At the time of writing, the malware is masquerading as a battery optimization tool, and is distributed via third-party app stores.

Seems like Android really needs a sandboxing solution, apps shouldn't be able to interact with each other so easily.

There is a lot of fear mongering about Android Security, while it isnt perfect it is pretty good.
Just install apps via Google Play Store and dont be a sucker, problem solved, it isnt an antivirus solution that will save you.

Android Sandbox is fine, more so in version 8 and 9.
