Advanced Variant of "NotCompatible" Android Malware a Threat to Enterprises

From SecurityWeek:

Advanced Variant of "NotCompatible" Android Malware a Threat to Enterprises

"NotCompatible.C is distributed through spam campaigns and compromised websites. The attackers are not leveraging any exploits, but instead rely on social engineering to trick potential victims into installing the threat on their mobile devicese. One of the distribution campaigns observed by Lookout used the classic "security update" ruse.
 
According to the security firm, the cybercriminals have acquired compromised websites and accounts in bulk. In one of the spam runs seen by researchers, only Yahoo accounts had been used. In a different campaign, the attackers used only compromised AOL accounts."
