They don't sell their emulators to users. Now let's talk about all the other companies. But last time i tried both they sucked in performance and android version support (older versions than kitkat). There were also some shareware emulators that were mostly 100% safe: like Jar of Beans and AMIDuOS. Its code is now in Android Studio) and Android-x86 (free source code, low app compatibility and not easy to configure in VirtualBox - shared folders and GooglPlay integration). Excellent performance on par with noxplayer. With my experience i can tell you that only 100% safe emulators are Android Studio (the Google offical emulator that is a pain in the ass to configure), Leapdroid (out of production. Meanwhile in these years i tried most of the others:Genymotion, Jar of Beans,WMlite, YouWave, Amiduos,Droid4x and Memu (NoxPlayer Clone). The second is the case of the VGCA, the official certificate authority of the Vietnamese government.I started to use Android emulators since the beginning:Īndroid-x86 in 2009-2011 (mostly a proof of concept but very low in speed and compatibility) The first is the case of Able Desktop, software used by many Mongolian government agencies. This incident is also the third supply chain attack discovered by ESET over the past two months.

These correlations referred to the three malware strains deployed via malicious NoxPlayer updates, which ESET said contained "similarities" to other malware strains used in a Myanmar presidential office website supply-chain compromise in 2018 and early 2020 in an intrusion into a Hong Kong university. "We are still investigating, but we have found tangible correlations to a group we internally call Stellera, which we will be reporting about in the near future."

"We discard the possibility that this operation is the product of some financially motivated group," an ESET spokesperson told ZDNet today via email.

adopt additional measures, notably encryption of sensitive data, to avoid exposing users' personal informationĪs for who's behind the attack, ESET doesn't know, but it knows who it wasn't.implement file integrity verification using MD5 hashing and file signature checks.

use only HTTPS to deliver software updates in order to minimize the risks of domain hijacking and Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks.
