Android Droppers: The Silent Gatekeepers of Malware
Droppers have long been a cornerstone of Android malware campaigns. They’re small, seemingly harmless apps whose real job is to fetch and install a malicious payload. Historically, they were most widely used in families like banking trojans and, at times, Remote Access Trojans (RATs). Especially after Android 13 restricted permissions and APIs, these threats leaned on droppers to slip past upfront scanning and later request powerful permissions (such as Accessibility Services) upon installing payload, without drawing attention..:
