Android USB Debugging is a tool that developers use to troubleshoot Android apps. But cybercriminals also use it to do bad things, like steal data or install apps on devices without permission.
There are some risks associated with using USB Debugging:
- Criminals can bypass existing security protections on devices.
- They can extract or install apps on devices without permission.
- They can also read and alter data while the app is running.
- Additionally, they can attach to running processes, trace and modify application memory, and perform function or method hooking. Finally, they can establish a remote shell (to run and execute commands remotely) on a device and inject code remotely.
