Jangan Asal Unduh Aplikasi Bertema Squid Game!

October 27, 2021 by Eevee

Penjahat dunia maya memanfaatkan ketenaran “Squid Game” untuk menguangkan para penggemar serial hit Korea Netflix yang hiper-kekerasan.

Dalam penipuan terbaru, yang ditemukan oleh seorang peneliti keamanan siber, sebuah aplikasi untuk wallpaper bertema SG — tersedia di Google Play Store — telah memasang malware berbahaya ke ponsel orang, Sun melaporkan.

“Sepertinya peluang besar untuk menghasilkan uang dari iklan dalam aplikasi dari salah satu acara TV paling populer tanpa game resmi,” Lukas Stefanko, seorang peneliti malware di perusahaan keamanan ESET, yang dilaporkan menangkap aplikasi tersebut sedang beraksi.

Aplikasi yang diduga jahat, berjudul “Squid Game Wallpaper 4K HD,” tersedia bersama ratusan aplikasi berdasarkan seri sukses besar. Saat diunduh, Trojan akan menginfeksi perangkat Android dengan malware Joker, yang memungkinkan peretas untuk mendaftarkan Anda ke layanan premium yang dapat mereka manfaatkan.

Stefanko telah menge-Tweet bahwa penipu digital menggunakan aplikasi untuk melakukan “penipuan iklan berbahaya dan/atau tindakan berlangganan SMS yang tidak diinginkan,” yang berarti bahwa perangkat yang disusupi dapat dibanjiri dengan iklan yang tidak diinginkan melalui pesan teks.

Pejuang kejahatan dunia maya memberi tahu Google tentang skema tersebut – tetapi skema itu telah diunduh 5.000 kali pada saat mereka menghapusnya.

Sayangnya, penggemar “Game Squid” yang menginstal aplikasi sebelum dihapus dari Google Play terus berisiko terkena malware. Techsperts menyarankan orang untuk segera menghapus aplikasi untuk meniadakan ancaman.

Stefanko mencatat Google Play menawarkan 200 aplikasi berdasarkan “Squid Game” – yang sedang digembar-gemborkan sebagai acara Netflix yang paling banyak ditonton – dengan yang paling populer mengumpulkan 1 juta unduhan dalam 10 hari.

Sayangnya, dampak negatif acara ini bisa lebih dari sekadar digital. Psikolog mengatakan bahwa serial dystopian dapat menghambat “perkembangan sosial dan emosional” anak-anak muda, mendorong mereka untuk menutup mata – atau bahkan bergabung – ketika orang lain diserang.

Awal bulan ini, sebuah sekolah di Belgia mengeluarkan peringatan menyusul laporan siswa yang memainkan permainan meninju yang berbahaya terinspirasi dari “Squid Game”.
