Meh I was more nervous based on the title, but it's basically an app(malware) that people are told to install which can access phone details.

And using loads of sensitive permissions to pull it off, like accessibility to read the screen. It's not stealing the auth cookies from the app nor throwing exploits at Android to escape the sandbox.

Headline definitely makes it sound like it's a drive-by exploit, but no it's just the usual social engineering everyone is familiar with.

My phone is my bank credentials, no other way to authenticate.

Pretty much the same situation with any Finnish bank.

Ah f@ck! Seems that it's unavoidable in the near future. Totally unacceptable though.

I think the biggest risk is social engineering the elderly anyway

Speak for yourself, my phone is the most secure device I own!
