Google menghapus 17 aplikasi Android yang tertangkap terlibat dalam penipuan penagihan WAP

September 28, 2020 by Winnie the Pooh

Google telah menghapus 17 aplikasi Android dari Play Store resmi.

17 aplikasi, yang ditemukan oleh peneliti keamanan dari Zscaler, terinfeksi malware Joker (alias Bread).

“Spyware ini dirancang untuk mencuri pesan SMS, daftar kontak, dan informasi perangkat, bersama dengan diam-diam mendaftarkan korban untuk layanan wireless application protocol (WAP) premium,” kata peneliti keamanan Zscaler Viral Gandhi.

17 aplikasi berbahaya diunggah di Play Store bulan ini dan telah diunduh lebih dari 120.000 kali sebelum terdeteksi.

Aplikasi tersebut adalah:

  • All Good PDF Scanner
  • Mint Leaf Message-Your Private Message
  • Unique Keyboard – Fancy Fonts & Free Emoticons
  • Tangram App Lock
  • Direct Messenger
  • Private SMS
  • One Sentence Translator – Multifunctional Translator
  • Style Photo Collage
  • Meticulous Scanner
  • Desire Translate
  • Talent Photo Editor – Blur focus
  • Care Message
  • Part Message
  • Paper Doc Scanner
  • Blue Scanner
  • Hummingbird PDF Converter – Photo to PDF
  • All Good PDF Scanner

Cara aplikasi yang terinfeksi ini berhasil menyelinap melewati pertahanan Google dan mencapai Play Store adalah melalui teknik yang disebut “droppers”, di mana perangkat korban terinfeksi dalam proses multi-tahap.

Pembuat malware mulai dengan mengkloning fungsionalitas aplikasi yang sah dan mengunggahnya di Play Store. Aplikasi ini berfungsi penuh, meminta akses ke izin berbahaya, tetapi juga tidak melakukan tindakan berbahaya saat pertama kali dijalankan.

Karena tindakan jahat biasanya tertunda selama berjam-jam atau berhari-hari, pemindaian keamanan Google tidak menemukan kode berbahaya tersebut, dan Google biasanya mengizinkan aplikasi tersebut untuk dicantumkan di Play Store.

Namun, begitu berada di perangkat pengguna, aplikasi tersebut akhirnya mendownload dan “menjatuhkan” komponen atau aplikasi lain di perangkat yang berisi malware Joker atau jenis malware lainnya.
