That's why a wide range of different devices are affected. With over 700,000 infected devices, Honor has been hit the hardest, followed by Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo. Even premium manufacturers like Samsung are affected, if only slightly.

Using the DOWNLOAD_WITHOUT_NOTIFICATION permission, RottenSys can sneak newly downloaded components past all common security restrictions. RottenSys has been distributed since 2016 and became active for the first time in 2017 with lucrative results for the developers: Check Point Research: "RottenSys is an extremely aggressive ad network. In the past 10 days alone, it popped aggressive ads 13,250,756 times (called impressions in the ad industry), and 548,822 of which were translated into ad clicks." It is estimated the attackers earned over $115,000 with RottenSys in the last 10 days alone.
