Owners of Gigaset Android smartphones have been hit by malware that is automatically installed through what appears to be a supply chain attack,
a blog post by German tech writer Günter Born claims.
According to
a translated version of his 5 April post, Born was made aware of issues with the devices, that resembled those that arise after malware attacks, since 1 April.
Security researcher Nathan Collier of Malwarebytes
pointed out that the names Gigaset and Siemens have considerable overlap – Gigaset was formerly known as Siemens Home and Office Communications Devices .
