Mod WhatsApp berbahaya menginfeksi perangkat Android dengan malware

August 26, 2021 by Winnie the Pooh

Versi jahat dari mod FMWhatsappWhatsApp memberikan muatan Triadatrojan, kejutan buruk yang menginfeksi perangkat mereka dengan malware tambahan, termasuk trojan xHelper yang sangat sulit dihapus.

FMWhatsApp berjanji untuk meningkatkan pengalaman pengguna WhatsApp dengan fitur tambahan seperti privasi yang lebih baik, tema obrolan khusus, akses ke paket emoji jejaring sosial lain, dan penguncian aplikasi menggunakan PIN, kata sandi, atau touch ID.

Namun, seperti yang ditemukan oleh peneliti Kaspersky, versi FMWhatsapp 16.80.0 juga akan menginstall trojan Triada di perangkat pengguna dengan bantuan SDK iklan.

“Aplikasi ini tersedia di beberapa situs distribusi mod WhatsApp populer. Kami tidak dapat membagikan tautan ke sana,” kata pakar keamanan Kaspersky Igor Golovin kepada BleepingComputer.

“Untuk [kloning FMWhatsApp] di Google Play – aplikasi ini biasanya hanya berisi berbagai iklan dan menginstruksikan pengguna tentang cara mengunduh dan menginstal mod, sementara sebenarnya tidak mengandung mod jahat itu sendiri.”

Setelah diinstal, Triada mulai mengumpulkan informasi perangkat dan mengirimkannya ke server perintah-dan-kontrolnya, yang membalas dengan tautan ke muatan tambahan yang akan diunduh dan diluncurkan trojan pada perangkat Android yang disusupi.

Malware yang dijatuhkan oleh Triada di perangkat Android pengguna FMWhatsApp dapat dengan mudah mendaftarkan mereka ke langganan premium mengingat aplikasi tersebut meminta akses ke pesan teks korban saat diinstal.

Di antara malware yang dikirimkan oleh Triada, xHelper sangat menonjol melalui kemampuannya yang luar biasa untuk menginfeksi ulang perangkat Android beberapa jam setelah dihapus atau setelah perangkat yang terinfeksi direset ke pengaturan pabrik.
