Like the Play Store, Samsung's Galaxy App Store has privileged access to the system, allowing it to install and update apps without forcing the user to jump through hoops. The exploits have been patched, but outdated devices are still at risk.

Samsung's Android smartphones ship with the Google Play Store, which has hosted its fair share of malware over the years, as well as the less popular Galaxy App Store. The key to any malware campaign is getting malicious code onto a target device, and often, attackers will use a legitimate app store as a vector.
