Samsung, LG, Mediatek certificates compromised to sign Android malware (Bleeping Computer)

[Posted December 2, 2022 by corbet]
Bleeping Computer reports that the Android platform signing certificates for several manufacturers have leaked and been used to sign malware.
However, based on the results, even though Google said that "all affected parties were informed of the findings and have taken remediation measures to minimize the user impact," it looks like not all the vendors have followed Google's recommendations since, at least in Samsung's case, the leaked platform certificates are still being used to digitally sign apps.
