Well, current Android versions support starting the device in safe mode, not executing any third-party apps then, so that you can remove misbehaving apps. Looks like this is made exactly for such situations. Though I&#x27;m not sure if that mode is available on all devices, might depend on OS and boot loader.<p>That attack is then annoying and might cause device wipes due to not knowing that option, but looks not that blocking then. Google might also filter that attack by looking for that in their Google Play app check routine.
