Default Android malware subscribes you to paid services

Microsoft's 365 Defender Researchers warn

The security team from Microsoft's 365 Defender Research undertaking has Android malware which subscribes you for paid services on its own volition.

The toll fraud method uses the ancient Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) protocol that connects you to the mobile Internet and that your carrier uses to charge you for legitimate services like Spotify or even HBO Max.

Upon disconnection from a Wi-fi network, the new malware opens a subscription page and fills in your details, including any one-time passwords that are needed.
