Aplikasi Android Berbahaya Ditemukan Mendukung Layanan Pembuatan Akun

November 30, 2022 by Coffee Bean

Aplikasi SMS Android palsu, dengan 100.000 unduhan di Google Play Store, telah ditemukan secara diam-diam bertindak sebagai relai SMS untuk layanan pembuatan akun untuk situs seperti Microsoft, Google, Instagram, Telegram, dan Facebook.

Seorang peneliti mengatakan perangkat yang terinfeksi kemudian disewakan sebagai “nomor virtual” untuk menyampaikan kode sandi satu kali yang digunakan untuk memverifikasi pengguna saat membuat akun baru.

many user reviews complain that it is fake, hijacks their phones, and generates multiple OTPs (one-time passwords) upon installation.

Aplikasi Symoo dan ulasan pengguna di Google Play

Symoo ditemukan oleh peneliti keamanan Evina Maxime Ingrao, yang melaporkannya ke Google tetapi belum mendapat kabar dari tim Android. Pada saat penulisan, aplikasi tetap tersedia di Google Play.

Merutekan kode 2FA
Di layar pertama, ia meminta pengguna untuk memberikan nomor telepon mereka; setelah itu, itu melapisi layar pemuatan palsu yang seharusnya menunjukkan kemajuan memuat sumber daya.

Namun, proses ini diperpanjang, memungkinkan operator jarak jauh mengirim beberapa teks SMS 2FA (otentikasi dua faktor) untuk membuat akun di berbagai layanan, membaca kontennya, dan meneruskannya kembali ke operator.

Setelah selesai, aplikasi akan membeku, tidak pernah mencapai antarmuka SMS yang dijanjikan, sehingga pengguna biasanya akan mencopot pemasangannya.

aplikasi tersebut telah menggunakan nomor telepon pengguna Android untuk membuat akun palsu di berbagai platform online, dan peninjau mengatakan bahwa pesan mereka sekarang diisi dengan kode akses satu kali untuk akun yang tidak pernah mereka buat.

Menjual akun
Pengembang aplikasi ‘Nomor Virtual’ juga membuat aplikasi lain di Google Play yang disebut ‘ActivationPW – Nomor virtual’, diunduh 10.000 kali, yang menawarkan “Nomor online dari lebih dari 200 negara” yang dapat Anda gunakan untuk membuat akun.

Dengan menggunakan aplikasi ini, pengguna dapat “menyewa” nomor dengan harga kurang dari setengah dolar dan, dalam banyak kasus, menggunakan nomor tersebut untuk memverifikasi akun.

It is believed that the Symoo app is used to receive and forward OTP verification codes generated when people create accounts using ActivationPW.
