But a little while after it’s installed, the app roots the device. Rooting makes the malware capable of installing and deleting additional apps.

Advanced cyberthreats, demystified

Cyberweapons have to communicate to their creators, propagate within the infrastructure and send data. That’s when an effective and highly flexible algorithm can be capable of spotting them.
