I have a Pixel 4 XL and today I noticed that every so often when I unlock my phone it will open to some scammy chrome tab. I use Firefox most of the time so I don’t know where this malware came from. I’ve tried deleting history/cookies and it hasn’t worked. I can’t delete chrome because you can’t do that on Pixel devices. Anybody have any advice other than doing a factory reset?
This ended up being why: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/android/2021/02/barcode-scanner-app-on-google-play-infects-10-million-users-with-one-update/
OH.
I give my congratulations to Goolag. Even Apple and F-Droid are more careful with their apps, with the latter being the most.
