Lookout Menemukan ‘BouldSpy’, Android Spyware Terkait dengan Polisi Iran yang Menargetkan Minoritas

May 3, 2023 by Flamango

Para peneliti di Lookout Threat Lab telah menemukan alat pengawasan Android baru yang penulis kaitkan dengan keyakinan sedang kepada Komando Penegakan Hukum Republik Islam Iran (FARAJA).

Spyware BouldSpy untuk kelas “BoulderApplication” yang mengonfigurasi perintah dan kontrol alat (C2), telah dilacak sejak Maret 2020. Mulai tahun 2023, malware tersebut telah menarik perhatian peneliti keamanan di Twitter dan oleh orang lain dalam ancaman tersebut.

Komunitas intelijen mencirikannya sebagai botnet Android dan ransomware. Sementara BouldSpy menyertakan kode ransomware, peneliti Lookout menilai bahwa itu tidak digunakan dan tidak berfungsi, tetapi dapat menunjukkan pengembangan yang sedang berlangsung atau upaya penyesatan dari pihak aktor.

Berdasarkan analisis kami terhadap data yang dieksfiltrasi dari server C2 untuk spyware, BouldSpy telah mengorbankan lebih dari 300 orang, termasuk kelompok minoritas seperti Kurdi Iran, Baluchis, Azeri, dan kemungkinan kelompok Kristen Armenia.

Bukti yang dikumpulkan menyiratkan bahwa spyware mungkin juga telah digunakan dalam upaya melawan dan memantau aktivitas perdagangan ilegal yang berkaitan dengan senjata, narkoba, dan alkohol.

Penulis meyakini bahwa FARAJA menggunakan akses fisik ke perangkat untuk menginstal BouldSpy guna memantau target lebih jauh saat dirilis.

Spyware ‘BouldSpy’ mewakili alat pengawasan lain yang memanfaatkan sifat pribadi perangkat seluler.

Beberapa aplikasi yang ditiru oleh BouldSpy termasuk CPU-Z, alat perbandingan CPU seluler, Konverter Mata Uang Pro, kalkulator bunga berbahasa Persia, dan aplikasi Fake Call.
