Malware Android menyamar sebagai Aplikasi mirip Netflix dan menginfeksi melalui WhatsApp

April 8, 2021 by Winnie the Pooh

Malware Android yang baru ditemukan di Google Play Store yang menyamar sebagai alat Netflix dirancang untuk menyebar secara otomatis ke perangkat lain menggunakan balasan otomatis WhatsApp ke pesan masuk.

Para peneliti di Check Point Research (CPR) menemukan malware baru ini menyamar sebagai aplikasi bernama FlixOnline dan mencoba memikat calon korban dengan janji akses gratis ke konten Netflix.

Peneliti CPR secara bertanggung jawab mengungkapkan temuan penelitian mereka kepada Google yang dengan cepat menghapus dan menghapus aplikasi berbahaya tersebut dari Play Store.

Aplikasi FlixOnline yang berbahaya diunduh kira-kira 500 kali selama dua bulan ketika itu tersedia untuk diunduh di Play Store.

Setelah aplikasi diinstal pada perangkat Android dari Google Play Store, malware memulai layanan yang meminta overlay, pengabaian pengoptimalan baterai, dan izin pemberitahuan.

Setelah izin diberikan, malware akan dapat menghasilkan overlay di atas jendela aplikasi apa pun untuk tujuan pencurian kredensial, memblokir perangkat agar tidak mematikan prosesnya untuk mengoptimalkan konsumsi energi, mendapatkan akses ke notifikasi aplikasi, dan mengelola atau membalas pesan.

Kemudian aplikasi tersebut mulai memantau pemberitahuan WhatsApp baru untuk membalas otomatis semua pesan masuk menggunakan muatan teks khusus yang diterima dari server perintah dan kontrol dan dibuat oleh operatornya.

Check Point mengatakan bahwa balasan otomatis yang diamati dalam kampanye ini mengarahkan para korban ke situs Netflix palsu yang mencoba mengambil informasi identitas dan kartu kredit mereka.
