Security researchers have discovered a new Android banking trojan they named Brokewell that can capture every event on the device, from touches and information displayed to text input and the applications the user launches.

You have to go out of your way to permit apps to install anything since like Android 9, iirc.

By default, only the play store can install apps, and anything asking for the permission has a pretty clear warning.
