Varian Baru Spyware Android Menargetkan Pengguna Di Timur Tengah

November 26, 2021 by Winnie the Pooh

Perusahaan perangkat lunak dan perangkat keras keamanan Inggris Sophos baru-baru ini mengungkapkan bahwa varian baru spyware Android yang digunakan oleh grup C-23 secara aktif menargetkan pengguna di Timur Tengah.

C-23, juga dikenal sebagai GnatSpy, FrozenCell, atau VAMP, adalah apa yang oleh para profesional keamanan siber disebut sebagai musuh ancaman persisten tingkat lanjut (advanced persistent threat/APT). Musuh semacam itu biasanya didanai dengan baik dan terorganisir dengan baik, yang memungkinkan mereka untuk dengan cepat mengembangkan taktik mereka untuk mengatasi pertahanan keamanan siber yang paling canggih sekalipun.

Grup C-23 telah dikenal karena menargetkan individu di Timur Tengah setidaknya sejak 2017, dengan fokus khusus pada wilayah Palestina.

Varian terbaru dari spyware Android-nya kemungkinan besar didistribusikan melalui tautan unduhan yang dikirim ke korban sebagai pesan teks. Tautan mengarah ke aplikasi jahat yang berpura-pura memasang pembaruan yang sah di perangkat seluler korban.

Saat aplikasi diluncurkan untuk pertama kalinya, ia meminta sejumlah izin yang memungkinkannya memata-matai korban. Kemudian menyamarkan dirinya untuk membuat penghapusan lebih sulit.

Informasi yang dapat dicuri spyware baru mencakup semuanya, mulai dari pesan teks hingga nama aplikasi yang diinstal hingga kontak dari semua jenis aplikasi, termasuk Facebook dan WhatsApp. Spyware bahkan dapat mengabaikan pemberitahuan dan mengaktifkan pengaturan “Jangan Ganggu”.

Sophos merekomendasikan pengguna Android untuk tidak pernah menginstal aplikasi dari sumber yang tidak tepercaya dan menghindari untuk mengabaikan pembaruan OS dan aplikasi yang tersedia.
