Enam aplikasi yang berisi malware Joker dihapus dari Google Play Store

September 4, 2020 by Winnie the Pooh

Peneliti cybersecurity telah membuka kedok enam aplikasi di Google Play store dengan total gabungan lebih dari 200.000 unduhan dalam contoh lain dari malware yang sangat persisten yang telah mengganggu pengguna Android selama tiga tahun terakhir.

Malware Joker berpura-pura menjadi aplikasi yang sah di Play Store. Namun setelah terinstall, malware tersebut melakukan penipuan penagihan dengan mengirim pesan SMS ke nomor bertarif premium atau menggunakan akun korban untuk berulang kali melakukan pembelian menggunakan tagihan WAP.

Aktivitas tersebut terjadi di belakang layar dan tanpa interaksi apapun dari pengguna. Ini berarti mereka sering tidak mengetahui bahwa mereka telah ditipu sampai mereka menerima tagihan telepon yang penuh dengan biaya tambahan.

Dari enam aplikasi yang ditemukan mengandung malware Joker, salah satunya disebut ‘Convenient Scanner 2’ telah diunduh lebih dari 100.000 kali, sementara ‘Separate Doc Scanner’ telah diunduh oleh 50.000 pengguna.

Aplikasi lain, ‘Safety AppLock’, yang mengklaim untuk ‘melindungi privasi Anda’ dan telah diinstal 10.000 kali oleh korban yang malang yang pada akhirnya akan menemukan bahwa unduhan berbahaya itu merugikan, bukan melindungi, mereka.

Dua aplikasi lainnya juga telah menerima 10.000 unduhan masing-masing – ‘Push Message-Texting & SMS’ dan ‘Emoji Wallpaper’, sementara satu aplikasi bernama Fingertip GameBox telah diunduh 1.000 kali.

Enam aplikasi tersebut kini telah dihapus dari Play Store setelah diungkapkan ke Google oleh Pradeo. Pengguna yang memiliki aplikasi yang telah di sebutkan di atas, disarankan untuk segera menghapusnya.
