It still needs a gullible user to change their settings for this to work; not much to worry about here.
And not from the play store or official bank site.
If you install an APK from unreliable source you should treat your phone and account as corrupted.
you need Google to tell you what safe and what's not? have you ever used a desktop operating system where you usually install programs from different sources?
You mean like Play, which is where 99% of installed malware comes from?
Note that for this attack to work, you have to be on Android 11 or below (or possibly an earlier patch) as by default accessibility services aren't allowed to draw-over or interact with elements in the settings app unless you explicitly override it in developer options.
This extends to some other areas, like for when biometric/system lock APIs are used.
So you have to enable the "draw over settings", which is pretty deep in settings (developer options).
You kinda deserve it if you do this. Lol
