🟢🎥 New session online from Droidcon Italy 2024

Talk: “Exploring Android Accessibility Malware”
👉🏻 Watch the session here → https://youtu.be/xCHW8ql3vi0

Malware doesn’t need root access to do serious damage anymore. In this eye-opening session, Kostya shows how credential stuffing and Accessibility Service abuse are being used together by attackers to hijack user sessions, automate malicious behavior, and stay completely hidden from the user.

🔎 This technical deep dive includes:
- How malware chains Accessibility Events to simulate real user behavior
- A live PoC showing credential stuffing in action
- Why some of the most dangerous attacks are also the easiest to pull off
- What not to do (like blindly disabling accessibility)
