    Curious if graphene’s exploit protection would prevent this from taking hold. There would be ways around it, but I don’t know if it could gain admin privileges.

      From what I can see, this doesn’t need privilege escalation. Just for the user to grant it screen reader privileges, which many users aren’t conditioned to see as the giant flashing red alarm bell it is.

      Malware is like fishing. Bait a million hooks and throw them out there, something’s gonna bite and get hooked even if 999,999 lines never even get tugged.
